While the detection of ultraviolet to near-infrared light is useful for a variety of applications from dark matter searches to biological imaging and astronomy, the performance of these detectors often limits the achievable science. The authors work explains the limits on spectral resolution broadening, and uses this knowledge to more than double the world record spectral resolution for an MKID suitable for optical and near-IR astrophysics, with emphasis on developing detectors for exoplanet detection. The techniques developed have implication for phonon control in many different devices, particularly in limiting cosmic ray-induced decoherence in superconducting qubits. In addition, this thesis is highly accessible, with a thorough, pedagogical approach that will benefit generations of students in this area. 001451888 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed January 4, 2023). 001451888 650_0 $$aMicrowave detectors. 001451888 650_0 $$aInfrared detectors. 001451888 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001451888 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aZobrist, Nicholas$$tImproving the Resolving Power of Ultraviolet to near-Infrared Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023$$z9783031179556 001451888 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 001451888 852__ $$bebk 001451888 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-17956-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001451888 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1451888$$pGLOBAL_SET 001451888 980__ $$aBIB 001451888 980__ $$aEBOOK 001451888 982__ $$aEbook 001451888 983__ $$aOnline 001451888 994__ $$a92$$bISE
