Ultra-broadband near-field Josephson microwave microscopy.

ABSTRACT: Advanced microwave technologies constitute the foundation of a wide range of modern sciences, including microwave integrated circuits, quantum computing, microwave photonics, spintronics, etc. To facilitate the design of chip-based microwave devices, there is an increasing demand for state-of-the-art microscopic techniques that are capable of characterizing near-field microwave distribution and performance. In this work, we integrate Josephson junctions onto a nanosized quartz tip, forming a highly sensitive microwave mixer on-tip. This allows us to conduct spectroscopic imaging of near-field microwave distributions with high spatial resolution. By leveraging its microwave-sensitive characteristics, our Josephson microscopy achieves a broad detecting bandwidth of ≤200 GHz, as well as remar
