Abstract:
We experimentally studied weakly damped superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) shunted by an external resistor Rs and operated in either current- or voltage-bias mode. The SQUID parameters, such as the flux-to-voltage transfer coefficient ∂V/∂Φ and the dynamic resistance Rd, are reduced due to Rs, while the SQUID intrinsic noise remains unchanged. The reduced parameters can be enhanced again by using voltage feedback circuitry. Furthermore, Rs can be used to damp the SQUID in order to avoid the appearance of hysteresis or oscillation in SQUID characteristics. SQUID shunted by small Rs is always operated in mixed-bias mode.
