Picosecond Laser Ablation of Millimeter-Wave Subwavelength Structures on Alumina and Sapphire
Qi Wen, Elena Fadeeva, Shaul Hanany +4
We use a 1030 nm laser with 7 ps pulse duration and average power up to 100 W to ablate pyramid-shape subwavelength structures (SWS) on alumina and sapphire. The SWS give an effect…
Broadband, millimeter-wave anti-reflective structures on sapphire ablated with femto-second laser

The Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins (PICO) is a probe-class mission concept currently under study by NASA. PICO will probe the physics of the Big Bang and the energy scale of…
PICO - the probe of inflation and cosmic origins
Brian Sutin, Marcelo Alvarez, Nicholas Battaglia +31
The Probe of Inflation and Cosmic Origins (PICO) is a NASA-funded study of a Probe-class mission concept. The top-level science objectives are to probe the physics of the Big Bang…
The EBEX Balloon Borne Experiment - Detectors and Readout
The EBEX Collaboration, Maximilian Abitbol, Asad M. Aboobaker +37
EBEX was a long-duration balloon-borne experiment to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. The experiment had three frequency bands centered at 150, 250, and…
Developments of highly-multiplexed, multi-chroic pixels for Balloon-Borne Platforms
François Aubin, Shaul Hanany, Bradley R. Johnson +4
We present our work to develop and characterize low thermal conductance bolometers that are part of sinuous antenna multi-chroic pixels (SAMP). We use longer, thinner and meandered…
Intensity-Coupled-Polarization in Instruments with a Continuously Rotating Half-Wave Plate
Joy Didier, Amber D. Miller, Derek Araujo +31
We discuss a systematic effect associated with measuring polarization with a continuously rotating half-wave plate. The effect was identified with the data from the E and B Experim…
Exploring cosmic origins with CORE: mitigation of systematic effects

We present an analysis of the main systematic effects that could impact the measurement of CMB polarization with the proposed CORE space mission. We employ timeline-to-map simulati…
Exploring cosmic origins with CORE: gravitational lensing of the CMB
Anthony Challinor, Rupert Allison, Julien Carron +110
Lensing of the CMB is now a well-developed probe of large-scale clustering over a broad range of redshifts. By exploiting the non-Gaussian imprints of lensing in the polarization o…
