According to recent research published in the journal Superconductor Science & Technology, "We have developed a single polarization engineering model of the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 10 (0.78-0.95 THz) receivers. The front-end optics comprises a pair of ellipsoidal mirrors and a corrugated feed horn."
"A waveguide mixer block is attached to the feed horn in which an NbTiN-based superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) mixer chip, which uses a quartz substrate, is mounted onto a WR-1.2 full-height waveguide. The SIS mixer employs two Nb/AlOx/Nb junctions and an NbTiN/SiO2/Al microstrip tuning circuit. A very wide intermediate ...
