abstract = "In this work the main task was to measure the remote coupling
between a probe and some niobium superconducting reentrant
cavities for use in parametric transducers of gravitational wave
detectors. The cavities were manufactured from RRR300 niobium and
cryogenically tested to determine the electromagnetic coupling
among other parameters. These cavities were also closed using a
RRR300 niobium cover forming a narrow axial gap with the post top.
A hole was made at the base opposite the cover in order to the
probe reach the cavity. Generally, the critical coupling (beta
approximate to 1) is achieved with the probe inside the cavity.
The mechanical connection of the probe with the transducer and the
external circuit introduces an unwanted seismic noise in the
transducer. The microstrip antennas have been traditionally
employed to make a wireless connection. However, this study has
demonstrated coupling factor beta approximate to 1 with the probe
moved away 4.0 mm from the cavity with a 3.0 mm diameter hole.
Couplings with the probe moved away 1.0 mm and 7.0 mm from
cavities with 1.5 mm and 3.5 mm diameter holes, respectively, have
also been obtained. These results have revealed the influence of
the hole diameter with the remote coupling between an electric
field probe and the klystron mode of a superconducting reentrant
cavity. Due to the practicalities, this effect may replace the
microstrip antennas making it possible to implement high
sensitivity parametric transducers.",
