Nonlinearities and parametric amplification in superconducting coplanar waveguide resonators

• Experimental investigations of the nonlinear properties of superconducting niobium coplanarwaveguide resonators are reported. The nonlinearity due to a current dependent kinetic inductanceof the center conductor is strong enough to realize bifurcation of the nonlinear oscillator. Whendriven with two frequencies near the threshold for bifurcation, parametric amplification with a gainof +22.4 dB is observed.
