Optimization of lenslet arrays for PRIMA Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Sumit Dahal, Thomas R. Stevenson, Nicholas P. Costen +10
The PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is a cryogenically cooled 1.8-m space telescope designed to address fundamental questions about the evolution of galactic ec…
High-Efficiency and Low-Noise Detectors for the Upgraded CLASS 90 GHz Focal Plane
Carolina Núñez, John W. Appel, Rahul Datta +22
We present the in-lab and on-sky performance for the upgraded 90 GHz focal plane of the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS), which had four of its seven detector wafers…
Superfluid-tight cryogenic receiver with continuous sub-Kelvin cooling for EXCLAIM
Sumit Dahal, Peter A. R. Ade, Christopher J. Anderson +67
The EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM) is a balloon-borne telescope designed to survey star formation over cosmological time scales using intensity…
Monolithic Kilopixel Silicon Microlens Arrays for Future Far-Infrared Observatories
Nicholas F. Cothard, Thomas Stevenson, Jennette Mateo +6
Future far-infrared astrophysics observatories will require focal plane arrays containing thousands of ultra-sensitive, superconducting detectors, each of which needs to be optical…
