Abstract

Dynamics of fluxons propagating in a Josephson transmission line (JTL) have been studied in real time using Josephson sampling techniques. A JTL is an NbN-oxide-NbN Josephson junction with dimensions of 2.5 × 150 μm2, while Josephson samplers and pulse generators for generating and driving fluxons are fabricated by a Pb-alloy technology. Among the various behaviors, especially, it is found that a propagating fluxon can be made to pause without reflections at any desired position which is created by placing a resistor on the surface of a portion of a JTL. The surface resistor has a length larger than the Josephson penetration depth. A pausing fluxon can be re-driven by supplying a small current to the portion of the surface resistor after more than 100 μs, The experimental results are compared with computer simulations. Reflections of fluxons observed by samplers have also been discussed.
