10.6 μm heterodyne receiver based on a superconducting hot-electron bolometer mixer and a quantum cascade laser

We report on the development of a heterodyne receiver at mid-infrared wavelength for high-resolution spectroscopy applications. The receiver employs a superconducting NbN hot electron bolometer as a mixer and a room temperature distributed feedback quantum cascade laser operating at 10.6 μm (28.2 TH...
