Abstract
We have investigated the Josephson inductance LJ of a superconducting Cooper pair transistor (SCPT). We traced the inductance using microwave reflection measurements on a tuned resonance circuit in which a SCPT was mounted in parallel to a ∼200 pH strip line inductance. When the inverse of the Josephson inductance, determined on the charge-phase bias plane for a SCPT with a Josephson to Coulomb energy ratio of EJ/EC=1.75, is integrated over the phase, we obtain a current-phase relation, which is strongly nonsinusoidal near the charge degeneracy point.
