Outline of Final Research Achievements

We studied superconducting parametric amplifiers (KIT amplifiers) which use a kinetic-inductance nonlinearity of superconducting transmission line to applied current. We fabricated a NbTiN-thin-film coplanar waveguide (CPW), and measured a variation of the kinetic inductance in the microwave region when the DC current was applied to the strip. The measurement results were in good agreement with calculation results, and it was found that the strong nonlinearity is obtained in the CPW with narrow strip width. Based on the results, we designed the KIT amplifier at 0.3 THz. Using a NbTiN-CPW with the strip width of 2 um and the length of 5 cm, the parametric gain more than 10 dB is expected by applying a pumping power of 0.2 mW.
