• Bipolar photodiode module operated at 4 K 

      Bardalen, Eivind; Nissilä, Jaani; Fordell, Thomas; Karlsen, Bjørnar; Kieler, Oliver; Øhlckers, Per (Chapter, 2020)
      An optoelectronic module for generating high frequency bipolar current pulses at 4 K was developed. Bipolar signals are generated by connecting a pair of photodiodes in series to coplanar waveguides on silicon. The ...
    • Driving a low critical current Josephson junction array with a mode-locked laser 

      Nissilä, J.; Fordell, Thomas; Kohopää, K.; Mykkänen, E.; Immonen, P.; Jabdaraghi, R. N.; Bardalen, Eivind; Kieler, Oliver; Karlsen, Bjørnar; Øhlckers, Per; Behr, Ralf; Manninen, A. J.; Govenius, J.; Kemppinen, A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      We report proof-of-concept experiments on an optically driven Josephson voltage standard based on a mode-locked laser (MLL), a time-division multiplexer, and a cryogenic ultrafast photodiode driving an overdamped Josephson ...
    • Evaluation of Silicon Diaphragms for Hermetic Packaging of Microbolometer Arrays 

      Xia, Hexin; Akram, Muhammad Nadeem; Bardalen, Eivind; Roy, Avisek; Aasmundtveit, Knut; Øhlckers, Per (Chapter, 2020)
      Hermetic packaging is a critical requirement for microbolometers to maintain long-term reliability. A thinner diaphragm is desirable for vacuum packaging of microbolometers to obtain higher infrared light transmission. ...
    • High Performance Predictable Quantum Efficient Detector Based on Induced-Junction Photodiodes Passivated with SiO2/SiNx 

      Koybasi, Ozhan; Nordseth, Ørnulf; Tran, Trinh; Povoli, Marco; Rajteri, Mauro; Pepe, Carlo; Bardalen, Eivind; Manoocheri, Farshid; Summanwar, Anand; Korpusenko, Mikhail; Getz, Michael Norderhaug; Ohlckers, Per; Ikonen, Erkki; Gran, Jarle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      We performed a systematic study involving simulation and experimental techniques to develop induced-junction silicon photodetectors passivated with thermally grown SiO2 and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited (PECVD) ...
    • High-Speed Pulsation of a Cryogenically Operable Bipolar Photodiode Module for the Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer 

      Karlsen, Bjørnar; Bardalen, Eivind; Nissilä, Jaani; Fordell, Thomas; Kieler, Oliver; Palafox, Luis; Behr, Ralf; Malmbekk, Helge; Akram, Muhammad Nadeem; Øhlckers, Per (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This paper describes the development and testing of a prototype of a cryogenically operable bipolar photodiode module. Optical pulsation systems based on both a Mach-Zehnder modulator and a mode-locked laser have been used ...
    • Simulated effects of wet-etched induced surface roughness on IR transmission and reflection 

      Papatzacos, Phillip; Akram, Muhammad Nadeem; Bardalen, Eivind; Øhlckers, Per (Chapter, 2020)
      We have constructed a finite element simulation where we investigate the effects of wet-etch-induced surface roughness on transmission and reflection of infrared light in the 8-12um band. A silicon wafer was wet-etched for ...
