We propose a YBCO-based microwave kinetic inductance detector with rewound strip structure (spiral-MKID) suitable for imaging applications. The superconducting rewound strip acts as a microwave resonator and broadband antenna. A 25-pixel MKID array with a width of 10 μm and slightly varying length of each of the resonators was fabricated on a 10× 10 mm 2-MgO substrate. Microwave resonance characteristics of the array were evaluated by measuring one of the scattering-matrix elements, S 21, using a vector network analyser. The 25 resonance dips were clearly observed around 5 GHz; the frequency spacing between adjacent pixels was 13 MHz, with a standard deviation of 5 MHz. Each resonance frequency was shifted by 170 MHz, owing to the temperature change from 11 K to 50 K. We showed that the YBCO-based spiral-MKIDs with 200 nm-thick films have loaded quality factors of 1,200 at 11 K and 700 at 50 K. We irradiated visible light to a single pixel on the array. The obtained noise equivalent power was on the order of 10− 9 W/Hz 1/2, while the response time was smaller than 30 ms at 13 K. The responsivity of the array at 70 K was six times larger than that at 13 K.
