2 results about "Kinetic inductance" patented technology

Kinetic inductance is the manifestation of the inertial mass of mobile charge carriers in alternating electric fields as an equivalent series inductance. Kinetic inductance is observed in high carrier mobility conductors (e.g. superconductors) and at very high frequencies.

Method for determining the temperature in the environment of a superconducting passive component

The invention relates to a method for determining the temperature in the environment of an assembly comprising at least one passive component (6), the passive component being integrated into a single-layer or multi-layer assembly (22), comprising the steps of: - determining the geometric inductance of the passive component (6), from the dimensions of the passive component (6); - measuring the inductance of the passive component (6), called the total inductance, the passive component (6) being used in a temperature range such that it is in a superconducting state; - determining the kinetic inductance of the passive component (6), from the total inductance and the geometric inductance; - determining the temperature from the kinetic inductance of the component.

Kinetic inductance compensated photon detectors

A photonic integrated circuit and method. A waveguide is configured to propagate one or more photons. A photon-sensitive portion of a superconducting wire proximate to the waveguide is configured to transition from a superconducting state to a non-superconducting state in response to detection of a. photon within the waveguide. A low resistance metal structure is connected to a first lead and a second lead, the first lead being connected to one end of the photon-sensitive portion and the second lead being connected to another end of the photon-sensitive portion. The low resistance metal structure is separated from the waveguide to create a gap between a portion of the low resistance metal structure and the photon-sensitive portion. A resistor is connected between the first lead, and a middle section of the low resistance metal structure such that current through the resistor causes a short circuit to bypass the photon-sensitive portion.
