Characterising the effective temperature of hybrid tunnel junctions in THz SIS mixers
In this paper, we present a method to measure the effective physical temperature of the tunnel junction in a terahertz superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) mixer when illuminated with a strong local oscillator (LO) power that results in local hot spot around the tunnel junction. We observed...
