An Overview of Potential Medical Applications of Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors

Abstract: Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) have proven to be a versatile detector technology and are very promising for several applications in medical imaging. Deep imaging into human tissues often requires detectors with low background noise, high detection efficiency, broad wavelength sensitivity or single-pixel energy resolution. MKIDs offer a unique combination of valuable features for medical imaging but have so far not been discussed much for modern medical instrumentation. This represents an exciting opportunity to investigate the potentially powerful advantages MKIDs could offer for clinical studies in several areas. The most promising fields for MKIDs in medical imaging include fluorescence microscopy, near-infrared spectroscopy, energy-resolved medical X-ray imaging and synchrotron X-ray microscopy. We present the respective advantages MKIDs offer for these fields and compare them to current detector state-of-the-art.

Developing a Compact SWIR Imaging Spectrometer for CO2 and CH4 Retrieval Using Photonic Crystal Filters
Marijn Siemons, Brecht Simon, Irina Malysheva, Ralf Kohlhaas
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.19877 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.19877 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.19877
arXiv:2608.19877v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The need for atmospheric measurements with higher spatial and temporal resolution is driving the development of satellites and satellite constellations to complement existing flagship missions. We are developing an instrument concept based on photonic crystal filters with tailored spectral transmission for trace gas retrieval. These filters can be integrated directly with the detector module, enabling a highly compact system architecture.
In this work, we present performance simulations for methane and carbon dioxide retrieval in the 1.6 um SWIR band for a medium-resolution global coverage mission with an approximately 250 m spatial resolution and a 150 km swath. We furthermore introduce an improved retrieval algorithm that substantially reduces retrieval bias. These results demonstrate the potential of the proposed architecture for medium-resolution global greenhouse-gas mapping, with retrieval performance comparable to state-of-the-art global mapping missions such as the planned CO2M mission at substantially finer spatial resolution. This measurement approach also inherently compresses the acquired spectral information, reducing the need for high downlink data rates. In the coming year, these filters will be fabricated by NIL Technology, followed by mechanical integration and experimental validation in a breadboard system.
