Kinetic Inductance Detectors, a promising technology for precision astronomy

RETROSPECTIVE. In order to observe the cosmos and its infinitely distant phenomena, each additional photon captured may be indispensable. The new generation of kinetic inductance detectors, currently being developed at the APC laboratory, is therefore a promising technology for developing ultra-precise astronomical instruments. This result, published last year, provides an update on the progress of this project. How to observe […]
