Detail View

The Carthago is our latest generation of traveling wave parametric amplifier. Based on Kerr-reversal effet, it exhibits continuous high gain over a very high bandwidth, with very low noise and high saturation power. 


Its tunability makes it an ideal solution for setups that require flexibility. The band of high amplification can thus be centered over a wide range. 


The superconducting magnetic coil needed to ensure optimal performances of the device is included with the device and directly embedded with in the sample holder.
