An Open Source RFSoC-based Readout Electronics System for Arrays of Kinetic Inductance Detectors and Superconducting Resonators
Cody Roberson, Nia McNichols, Jack Sayers +12
We present a novel readout electronics system for large arrays of superconducting electromagnetic resonators, such as kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs), based on a Radio Frequenc…
CCAT-prime: Characterization of the First 280 GHz MKID Array for Prime-Cam
Steve K. Choi, Cody J. Duell, Jason Austermann +20
The Prime-Cam receiver on the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope for the CCAT-prime project aims to address important astrophysical and cosmological questions with sensitive broadb…
Superfluid-tight cryogenic receiver with continuous sub-Kelvin cooling for EXCLAIM
Sumit Dahal, Peter A. R. Ade, Christopher J. Anderson +67
The EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM) is a balloon-borne telescope designed to survey star formation over cosmological time scales using intensity…
Mechanical properties of model colloidal mono-crystals
Jean-Christophe Ono-Dit-Biot, Pierre Soulard, Solomon Barkley +4
We investigate the elastic and yielding properties of two dimensional defect-free mono-crystals made of highly monodisperse droplets. Crystals are compressed between two parallel b…
A Millimeter-Wave Photometric Camera for Long-Range Imaging Through Optical Obscurants Using Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Jack Sayers, Daniel Cunnane, Sage Crystian +16
Passive imaging through optical obscurants is a promising application for mm-wave sensing. We have thus developed the Superconducting Kinetic Inductance Passive Radiometer (SKIPR),…
Operational Optimization to Maximize Dynamic Range in EXCLAIM Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Trevor M. Oxholm, Eric R. Switzer, Emily M. Barrentine +11
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are highly scalable detectors that have demonstrated nearly background-limited sensitivity in the far-infrared from high-altitude bal…
Spaceflight KID Readout Electronics for PRIMA
Thomas Essinger-Hileman, C. Matt Bradford, Patrick Brown +23
We present the design and testing of a prototype multiplexing kinetic inductance detector (KID) readout electronics for the PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) spac…
