Superconducting Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are superconducting, photon-counting, and energy-resolving detectors for visible to near-infrared wavelengths.
We present the analysis of a hybrid Lumped Element (LEKID) design with a beta-phase Ta inductor. We show that the measured KID response matches a response model based on the complex conductivity and material parameters.
The signal-to-noise is limited by the devices' microwave power handling, the very fast pulse decay, and saturation of the KID phase response. We will present our follow-up design optimized for higher power handling and with a larger inductor volume to reduce the response saturation.
