Abstract
A Double Relaxation Oscillation SQUID has been operated in a wideband flux locked loop system. The first measurements show a bandwidth of 1 MHz and a slew rate of 2.5-105 Φ0/s in combination with a white flux noise level of 8 µΦ0/√Hz. his corresponds to an input current noise of our DROS based current sensor of 2.5 pA/√Hz and a slew rate of about 0.08 A/s. The white noise level is still somewhat larger than the typical value of 2 pA/√Hz obtained in a 100 kHz bandwidth. Further developments are necessary to increase the slew rate and the bandwidth to make a DROS suitable for current readout of particle detectors based on superconducting Nb/Al-AlOx/Al/Nb tunnel junctions.
