High-sensitivity transition-edge-sensed bolometers: improved speed and characterization with AC and DC bias
Logan Foote, Michael D. Audley, Charles +12
We report on efforts to improve the speed of low-G far-infrared transition-edged-sensed bolometers. We use a fabrication process that does not require any dry etch steps to reduce…
Spatial Mapping and Capacitor Trimming Developments to Improve Usable Pixel Yield in PRIMA FIRESS Kilo-Pixel Arrays
Chris Albert, Jonathon Hunacek, Hien Nguyen +15
The Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) will use 8 kilo-pixel kinetic inductance detector (KID) arrays in its spectrometer module. We present an improved resonant f…
High-sensitivity Kinetic Inductance Detector Arrays for the Probe Far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics
Logan Foote, Chris Albert, Jochem Baselmans +15
Far-infrared (far-IR) astrophysics missions featuring actively cooled telescopes will offer orders of magnitude observing speed improvement at wavelengths where galaxies and formin…
Development of an ultra-sensitive 210-micron array of KIDs for far-IR astronomy
Elijah Kane, Chris Albert, Nicholas Cothard +13
The Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is a proposed space observatory which will use arrays of thousands of kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) to perform low- an…
Modeling of cosmic rays and near-IR photons in aluminum KIDs
Elijah Kane, Chris Albert, Ritoban Basu Thakur +13
The PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is working to develop kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) that can meet the sensitivity targets of a far-infrared spectromet…
Radiation Total Dose for PRIMA: Cold Exposure with Alpha Particles
Elijah Kane, Chris Albert, Andrew Beyer +11
The Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is a far-infrared (24-261 micron wavelengths) probe-class space observatory currently under Phase A study, which promises or…
