Abstract: | We recently proposed the idea of a novel sort of superconducting detector, i.e., a current-biased kinetic inductance detector (CB-KID). This detector is different from a current-biased transition edge detector studied previously, and is able to sense a change in kinetic inductance \(L_k\) given by \(L_{k} = \Lambda _{k}l/S = m_{s}l/n_{s}{q_{s}}^{2}S\) ( \(\Lambda _{k}\) ; kinetic inductivity, \(m_s\) ; mass of Cooper pair, \(n_s\) ; density of Cooper pairs, \(q_s\) ; charge of Cooper pair, \(l\) ; length of device, \(S\) ; cross sectional area) under a constant dc bias current \(I_b\) . In the present work, we first extend this idea to construct a multi-channel CB-KIDs array made of 200-nm-thick MgB \(_2\) thin-film meanderline with 3- \(\upmu \) m thin wire. We succeeded in observing clear signals for imaging from the four-channel CB-KIDs at 4 K by irradiating focused pulsed laser. A scanning laser spot can be achieved by an XYZ piezo-driven stage and an optical fiber with an aspheric focused lens. We can see typical signals from all 4 channels at 4 K, and obtain the positional dependence of the signal as the contour in XY plane. Our CB-KIDs can be used as neutron detectors by utilizing energy released from a nuclear reaction between \(^{10}\) B and cold neutron. |
