Linear and nonlinear characteristics of niobium nitride hot-electron bolometer devices

The superconducting HEB device is so far the most promising low noise mixer in the THz frequency range. It out-performs other existing receiver systems because it has low noise temperature and sufficient bandwidth for applications in the FIR range such as astronomy, remote sensing and plasma diagnos...
