Development of coherent detector technologies for sub-millimetre wave astronomy observations

<p>Superconductor-Insulator-Superconductor (SIS) mixers are now used regularly in sub- millimetre astronomical receivers. They have already achieved sensitivity approaching the quantum limit at frequencies below the superconducting gap of niobium (~680 GHz). Above that, the mixer performance i...
