3D Printed Alumina as a Millimeter-Wave Optical Element

Rex Lam, Scott Cray, Sam Dietterich +10

We present millimeter and sub-millimeter room temperature transmission and loss measurements of 3D printed alumina disc and of a disc with one-sided 3D printed sub-wavelength struc…

Silicon-based vacuum window for millimeter and submillimeter-wave astrophysics

Ryota Takaku, Scott Cray, Kosuke Aizawa +7

We designed, fabricated, and characterized the properties of a silicon-based vacuum window suitable for millimeter-wave astrophysical applications. The window, which has a diameter…

Laser ablated sub-wavelength structure anti-reflection coating on an alumina lens

Shaul Hanany, Scott Cray, Samuel Dietterich +12

We used laser ablation to fabricate sub-wavelength structure anti-reflection coating (SWS-ARC) on a 5 cm diameter alumina lens. With an aspect ratio of 2.5, the SWS-ARC are designe…

Prototype sub-wavelength structure anti-reflection coating on alumina filters for ground-based CMB telescopes

Kosuke Aizawa, Ryosuke Akizawa, Scott Cray +8

We present designs and fabrication of sub-wavelength anti-reflection (AR) structures on alumina for infrared absorptive filters with passbands near 30, 125, and 250 GHz. These band…

Broadband, millimeter-wave anti-reflective structures on sapphire ablated with femto-second laser

R. Takaku, S. Hanany, H. Imada +13

We designed, fabricated, and measured anti-reflection coating (ARC) on sapphire that has 116% fractional bandwidth and transmission of at least 97% in the millimeter wave band. The…
