Abstract
Planar superconducting microwave resonators are commonly operated for various cryogenic applications, typically at frequencies between 2 and 15 GHz. But for certain applications, e.g. microwave spectroscopy to study the dynamics of charges and spins in solids, a wider spectral range is desired. Driving such microwave resonators at higher frequencies is challenging due to enhanced losses and reduced wavelength. Here we present superconducting stripline resonators operating at multiple frequencies as high as 50 GHz. These resonators are fabricated of Pb and can easily be adjusted to particular applications, including mK temperatures in a dilution refrigerator. Demonstrating such a resonator as a spectroscopic tool, we detect the superconducting transition of a Sn sample in a wide spectral range.
