Detector technology

MKID

A superconducting detector that records not just the arrival of a photon but its energy and precise time, with no read noise. Operating at temperatures near absolute zero, MKIDs are a frontier technology for the millimetre, submillimetre, and optical sky, and scale to large arrays.
