7. SQUID Amplifiers.
One of the best candidates for second stage amplifier of cryogenic high-sensitive Terahertz receiver is a Superconducting Quantum Interferometer (SQUID). If it is a heterodyne receiver with output at intermediate frequency (IF) of a few Gigaherts, then SQUID can be operated as a low-noise (Tn<1 K) amplifier. We were among pioneers in this field and in our earlier publications we demonstrated such amplifiers made of Nb junctions. Later we fabricated this type of amplifier with high critical temperature Josephson junctions. For details see references:

For incoherent receivers such as bolometers and direct detectors we can offer another type of SQUID readout, it is SQUID femtoamperemeter in which dc SQUID is matched to the source of signal by a high gain superconducting transformer. As a result we can measure current down to 35 fA/Hz1/2. Such SQUIDs are also fabricated in our laboratory. For details see latest publications:
