Superconducting Josephson junction parametric amplifiers are robust, low noise amplifiers used to improve the signal to noise ratio of microwave quantum measurements. A common way to generate amplification is with the intrinsic non-linearity of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), which sustain four wave mixing processes. In this work we re-engineer an established optical lithography design for dimer Josephson junction array amplifiers [1] by replacing SQUIDs with superconducting non-linear asymmetric inductive elements (SNAILs) [2] which we use to introduce a three wave mixing process. The asymmetric Josephson potential of SNAILs induces a so-called Kerr-free point [3], which we use to improve the dynamic range [4] and increase the signal-pump detuning to several gigahertz.
