Twin-slot antennas and coplanar waveguides are a popular choice for coupling signals to state-of-the-art mixers and detectors at terahertz frequencies. Although these sensors show promising performance in terms of noise temperature, they usually also

Thin tantalum films were deposited on silicon wafers using a niobium seed layer to promote alpha-phase growth. These films were patterned into submicrometer size diffusion-cooled bolometers with superconducting transition temperatures of up to 2.35 K

Series-fed coplanar-waveguide embedding circuits have been recently developed for terahertz mixers using, in particular, superconducting devices as sensors. Although these mixers show promising performance, they usually also show a considerable downw

We present microwave (30 GHz) measurements on aluminum superconducting hot-electron bolometer (HEB) mixers. Aluminum HEB mixers have a lower superconducting transition temperature than niobium and niobium nitride devices, and are predicted to have im

We report on microwave measurements of superconducting aluminum hot-electron bolometers (Al HEBs). Diffusion-cooled Al HEB mixers are good candidates for space-borne applications in the Terahertz frequency range since they are predicted to have small

Diffusion-cooled aluminum hot-electron bolometer (HEB) mixers are of interest for low-noise high resolution THz-frequency spectroscopy within astrophysics. Al HEB mixers offer operation with an order of magnitude less local oscillator power, higher i

A new frequency domain hot-electron bolometer (HEB) mixer model is described, which takes into account the non-uniform temperature distribution found in superconducting diffusion-cooled devices. In this model the bolometer is discretized into a finit

Superconducting hot-electron bolometer (HEB) mixers are promising heterodyne detectors for THz frequencies. HEB mixers operating at 4 K or below offer the possibility of near-quantum-limited performance without an upper frequency limit imposed by the

We demonstrate that a potential distinction in ultimate performance of phonon-cooled and diffusion-cooled HEB mixers is not due to the cooling mechanisms but rather due to the different properties of available superconductors. The only available mate
