Optical and Near-IR Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) in the 2020s
Optical and near-IR Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors, or MKIDs, are superconducting photon counting detectors capable of measuring the energy and arrival time of individual OIR photons without read noise or dark current. In this whitepaper we will discuss the current status of OIR MKIDs and MKID-based instruments.
