Abstract
We have successfully developed a novel superconducting quantum interferometer based on Josephson junction networks with unconventional loop size distribution. For distinct theoretically determined distributions, the magnetic field B dependent dc voltage V(B) of the interferometer possesses a unique delta-peak like characteristics around B=0. Such devices are called Superconducting Quantum Interference Filters (SQIFs). The unique voltage response of SQIFs allows novel applications, e.g., absolute magnetic field sensors, high speed logical switches and non hysteretic low noise amplifiers which can be directly connected to standard room temperature electronics. In this paper we present new experimental and theoretical results on high performance two dimensional Superconducting Quantum Interference Filters (2D SQIFs). Such 2D SQIFs can be used as absolute magnetic field sensors. Our results indicate that due to the scaling behavior of the flux to voltage transfer function and the scaling of the white output noise, a highly sensitive absolute field sensor based on 2D SQIFs can be very small in size.
