Abstract :
The Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detector (LEKID) is an ultra sensitive superconducting detector suitable for use from the mm to FIR wavebands. Due to its simple design, the LEKID can easily be fabricated into large multiplexed arrays. This presentation will provide an overview of the LEKID and its applications.
