We probe this spectrum in a high frequency phase biased configuration, by coupling an NS ring to a multimode superconducting resonator. We detect a dc flux and frequency dependent response whose dissipative and non dissipative components are related by a simple Debye relaxation law with a characteristic time of the order of the diffusion time through the N part of the ring. The flux dependence exhibits $h/2e$ periodic oscillations with a large harmonics content at temperatures where the Josephson current is purely sinusoidal. This is explained considering that the populations of the Andreev levels are frozen on the time-scale of the experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-11-10T13:57:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ns ring", "superconducting resonator", "microwave response", "dense phase dependent andreev spectrum", "simple debye relaxation law" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1005.0406C" } } }
