Multiplexing technology based on SQUID for readout of superconducting transition-edge sensor arrays

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/ac693c

Abstract Multiplexing technologies based on superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) are crucial to cryogenic readout of superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) arrays. Demands for large-scale TES arrays promote the development of multiplexing technologies towards large multiplexing factors and low readout noise. The development of multiplexing technologies also facilitates new applications of TES arrays in a wide range of frequencies. Here we summarize different types of SQUID-based multiplexing technologies including time-division multiplexing, code-division multiplexing, frequency-division multiplexing and microwave SQUID multiplexing. The advances and parameter constraints of each multiplexing technology are also discussed.

Keywords: superconducting transition-edge sensor arrays superconducting quantum interference devices multiplexing technology cryogenic readout
