An upgraded frequency-selectable laser source (FLS) calibrator for CMB bandpass characterization

Lauren J. Saunders, Sara M. Simon, Shreya Sutariya +4

One of the biggest challenges for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments comes from the uncertainty in instrument bandpass calibration. Uncertainties in bandpass can limit f…

In-Band Scattering and Absorption of Infrared Blocking Foam Filters for Millimeter-wave Cameras

Alex Thomas, Bugao Zou, Shreya Sutariya +11

Expanded closed-cell polymer foams are widely used as thermal infrared (IR) blocking filters in millimeter-wave cameras, particularly for Cosmic Microwave Background observations.…

Reflectometry Measurements of the Loss Tangent in Silicon at Millimeter Wavelengths

Grace E. Chesmore, Tony Mroczkowski, Jeff McMahon +3

We report here on measurements of the reflectivity and loss tangent measured in the W-band (80-125 GHz) and D-band (125-180 GHz) in two samples of float zone silicon with intrinsic…
