Abstract:

Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices SQUIDs have been fabricated as part of a superconducting instrumentation program. Measurements of the characteristics of planar thin-film SQUIDs were made. Inductive coupling and direct coupling between the SQUID and the external electronics were demonstrated. In each case the response to an applied field and the signal-to-noise ratio was determined. Results from the two coupling methods are compared with that possible with commercially available SQUIDs.
