摘要
The nonlinear response of Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) has limited their usefulness. We describe the SQUID Operational Amplifier, which consists of several stages of SQUIDs with high open-loop current gain. When connected in a negative-feedback configuration by passing some of the output current through a feedback coil connected to the first stage, the response is linearized. rin analog of the semiconductor op-amp, the SQUID op-amp can be used in superconducting equivalents of op-amp circuits such as current amplifiers, current-to-voltage converters, and differentiators. We present experimental results with a x10 current amplifier as well as a 750 Omega current-to-voltage amplifier which can couple directly to a room-temperature amplifier without a transformer or a feedback line.
