Optical and near-infrared Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors, or MKIDs are low-temperature detectors with inherent spectral resolution that are able to instantly register individual photons with potentially no false counts or readout noise. These... Read More about First Principle Simulator of a Stochastically Varying Image Plane for Photon-counting High Contrast Applications.

KIDSpec, the Kinetic Inductance Detector Spectrograph, is a concept for a highly sensitive, medium-spectral-resolution optical through near-IR spectrograph. It uses the intrinsic-energy-resolving capability of an array of optical/IR-sensitive MKIDs t... Read More about KIDSpec: An MKID-Based Medium-Resolution, Integral Field Spectrograph.
