Abstract

We study experimentally and numerically the zero-voltage supercurrent vs. magnetic field of non-uniform arrays of Josephson junctions parallel-connected by a superconducting stripline. The measured curves are complex, unique and in excellent agreement with numerical simulations using a specially developed model. Using this, we can optimize the arrays to have any desired interference pattern. Such new devices could find applications in magnetometry, quasiparticle mixers and detectors, flux-flow oscillators and superconducting electronics.
