Cross-Slot Metal-Mesh Bandpass Filters for Far-Infrared Astronomy
Joanna Perido, Kevin Denis, Jason Glenn +7
The far-infrared (IR) region is rich with information needed to characterize interstellar dust and to investigate the cold outer planets of the solar system and their icy moons. Th…
Novel infrared-blocking aerogel scattering filters and their applications in astrophysical and planetary science
Kyle R. Helson, Stefan Arseneau, Alyssa Barlis +8
Infrared-blocking scattering aerogel filters have a broad range of potential applications in astrophysics and planetary science observations in the far-infrared, sub-millimeter, an…
Optical Characterization & Testbed Development for μ-Spec Integrated Spectrometers
Maryam Rahmani, Alyssa Barlis, Emily M. Barrentine +21
This paper describes a cryogenic optical testbed developed to characterize u-Spec spectrometers in a dedicated dilution refrigerator (DR) system. u-Spec is a far-infrared integrate…
Characterization of aerogel scattering filters for astronomical telescopes
Alyssa Barlis, Stefan Arseneau, Charles L. Bennett +8
We have developed a suite of novel infrared-blocking filters made by embedding scattering particles in a polymer aerogel substrate. Our developments allow us to tune the spectral p…
Dielectric Properties of Conductively Loaded Polyimides in the Far Infrared
Kyle R. Helson, Kevin H. Miller Karwan Rostem, Manuel Quijada +1
The dielectric properties of selected conductively-loaded polyimide samples are characterized in microwave through far infrared wavebands. These materials, belonging to the Vespel\…
Advanced Environmentally Resistant Lithium Fluoride Mirror Coatings for the Next-Generation of Broadband Space Observatories
Brian Fleming, Manuel Quijada, John Hennessy +7
Recent advances in the physical vapor deposition (PVD) of protective fluoride films have raised the far-ultraviolet (FUV: 912-1600 Å) reflectivity of aluminum-based mirrors closer…
