The design of the Ali CMB Polarization Telescope receiver
Maria Salatino, Jason E. Austermann, Keith L. Thompson +72
Ali CMB Polarization Telescope (AliCPT-1) is the first CMB degree-scale polarimeter to be deployed on the Tibetan plateau at 5,250m above sea level. AliCPT-1 is a 90/150 GHz 72 cm…
A Near Quantum Limited Sub-GHz TiN Kinetic Inductance Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifier Operating in a Frequency Translating Mode
Farzad Faramarzi, Sasha Sypkens, Ryan Stephenson +4
We present the design and experimental characterization of a kinetic-inductance traveling-wave parametric amplifier (KI-TWPA) for sub-GHz frequencies. KI-TWPAs amplify signals thro…
A 4-8 GHz Kinetic Inductance Travelling-Wave Parametric Amplifier Using Four-Wave Mixing with Near Quantum-Limit Noise Performance
Farzad Faramarzi, Ryan Stephenson, Sasha Sypkens +3
Kinetic inductance traveling-wave parametric amplifiers (KI-TWPA) have a wide instantaneous bandwidth with near quantum-limited performance and a relatively high dynamic range. Bec…
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…
Overview and status of EXCLAIM, the experiment for cryogenic large-aperture intensity mapping
Giuseppe Cataldo, Peter Ade, Christopher Anderson +41
The EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM) is a balloon-borne far-infrared telescope that will survey star formation history over cosmological time sca…
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…
Development of an Array of Kinetic Inductance Magnetometers (KIMs)
Sasha Sypkens, Farzad Faramarzi, Marco Colangelo +6
We describe optimization of a cryogenic magnetometer that uses nonlinear kinetic inductance in superconducting nanowires as the sensitive element instead of a superconducting quant…
Significant noise improvement in a Kinetic Inductance Phonon-Mediated detector by use of a wideband parametric amplifier
Karthik Ramanathan, Osmond Wen, Taylor Aralis +9
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) have been demonstrated as capable phonon sensors when coupled to crystalline substrates, and have been proposed as detectors for next…
