Atomic Layer Deposition Niobium Nitride Films for High-Q Resonators

Calder Sheagren, Peter Barry, Erik Shirokoff +1

Niobium nitride (NbN) is a useful material for fabricating detectors because of its high critical temperature and relatively high kinetic inductance. In particular, NbN can be used…

Development of dual-polarization LEKIDs for CMB observations

Heather McCarrick, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Peter A. R. Ade +14

We discuss the design considerations and initial measurements from arrays of dual-polarization, lumped element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) nominally designed for cosmic m…

Mexico-UK Sub-millimeter Camera for AsTronomy

Edgar Castillo-Dominguez, Peter Ade, Peter Barry +15

MUSCAT is a large format mm-wave camera scheduled for installation on the Large Millimeter Telescope Alfonso Serrano (LMT) in 2018. The MUSCAT focal plane is based on an array of h…

Eliminating stray radiation inside large area imaging arrays

Stephen J. C. Yates, Simon Doyle, Peter Barry +8

With increasing array size, it is increasingly important to control stray radiation inside the detector chips themselves. We demonstrate this effect with focal plane arrays of abso…

A passive THz video camera based on lumped element kinetic inductance detectors

Sam Rowe, Enzo Pascale, Simon Doyle +17

We have developed a passive 350 GHz (850 μm) video-camera to demonstrate lumped element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) -- designed originally for far-infrared astronomy --…
