提出了一种亚太赫兹频率范围的超导薄膜纳米开关，并进行了研制、制造和测试。开关使调制微波信号或在电路的两个支路之间以低损耗和高速切换成为可能。该开关可以与超导高灵敏度探测器自然集成。它的应用可以避免大量慢速机械调制器的使用，并提高决定性天体物理实验（如宇宙微波背景各向异性的研究）的测量精度。
A superconducting thin-film nanoswitch for the subterahertz frequency range has been proposed, developed, fabricated, and tested. The switch makes it possible to modulate the microwave signal or switch it between two branches of a circuit with low losses and high speed. The switch can be naturally integrated with superconducting high-sensitive detectors. Its application makes it possible to avoid the use of massive slow mechanical modulators and to improve the measurement accuracy in decisive astrophysical experiments such as the investigation of the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background.
