Low-Frequency Noise Reduction in SQUID Measurements Using Laser Switching.

Abstract

Reduce SQUID noise in measurements which are intrinsically low frequency or dc. Such low frequency measurements fall below the 1/f knee of the noise energy spectrum and the SQUID performance is degraded substantially below the often quoted white noise levels. We intend to improve the low frequency noise using input circuit modulation at a frequency above the 1/f knee, up-converting the signal in frequency. In our scheme the noise should approach the SQUID white noise floor and the slew rates should approach the original SQUID system slew rate.
