Coupling between coplanar waveguide resonators for multi-pixel kinetic inductance detectors — •Gerd Hammer, Martin Herold, Stefan Wünsch, and Michael Siegel — Institut für Mikro- und Nanoelektronische Systeme, Universität Karlsruhe (TH), Karlsruhe, Deutschland

Coplanar resonators as core element of kinetic inductance detectors are suitable for large arrays in multi-pixel applications [1]. The readout of large arrays can be performed by simultaneous measurement of multiple channels using frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) [2]. We have studied the coupling of closely placed resonators for a multi-pixel design with a high packaging density. Superconducting resonators with niobium thin films on silicon substrates with different coupling to a transmission line have been designed, simulated and measured at liquid helium temperature. Results of the influence of coupling properties of closely placed resonators are presented and discussed in respect of a high packaging density.
