摘要
We report the measurement of intermodulation gain greater than unity in NbN superconducting stripline resonators. In the intermodulation measurements we inject two unequal tones into the oscillator-the pump and signal-both lying within the resonance band. At the onset of instability of the reflected pump we obtain a simultaneous gain of both the idler and the reflected signal. The measured gain in both cases can be as high as 15 dB.
