Abstract
The transport mechanism of vortices in a new class of photofluxonic de tectors based on Josephson Junction (JJ) arrays is examined in detail. Spatial resolution is easily achievable only if the vortex/antivortex moves at constant velocity. Our simulations show that this is the cas e of JJ ladders. In 2D JJ arrays the situation is less simple: x-y res olution seems possible only in a small range of the bias current value s, beyond an upper critical value the detector becomes unstable.
