Lens based Kinetic Inductance Detectors with Distributed Dual Polarised Absorbers for Far Infra-red Space-based Astronomy
Shahab O. Dabironezare, Giulia Conenna, Daan Roos +16
Future space-based far infra-red astronomical observations require background limited detector sensitivities and scalable focal plane array solutions to realise their vast potentia…
Characterization of a Far-Infrared Kinetic Inductance Detector Prototype for PRIMA
Steven Hailey-Dunsheath, Sven van Berkel, Andrew E. Beyer +10
The PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is under study as a potential far-IR space mission, featuring actively cooled optics, and both imaging and spectroscopic ins…
Metal-Mesh Linear Variable Filter for Far-Infrared Wavelengths
Joanna Perido, Kevin Denis, Sean O. Clancy +7
Future far-infrared (IR) observatories require compact and cost efficient optical linear variable bandpass filters (LVBFs) to define their instrument spectral bands. We have design…
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…
