A laser scanning microscope with a thermal spot size of about 4 μm is used to measure a quantity proportional to the rf current density in an operating superconducting coplanar waveguide microwave resonator. The twinning of the LaAlO3 substrate produces a meandering of the current at the edges due to irregularities in the wet etching of the YBa2Cu3O7−δ film associated with substrate twin domain blocks, and an (∼20%) enhancement of the rf photoresponse at these locations. These irregularities are candidates for enhanced nonlinear response from the device.
