Development of TIFUUN: Terahertz Integral Field Units with Universal Nanotechnology
Akira Endo, Tom J. L. C. Bakx, Jochem J. A. Baselmans +50
TIFUUN (THz Integral Field Units with Universal Nanotechnology) is an ultra-wideband mm-submm wave imaging spectrometer that capitalizes on the highly scalable integrated supercond…
AMKID -- a large KID-based camera at the APEX telescope
N. Reyes, A. Weiss, S. J. C. Yates +26
The thermal emission at sub-millimeter wavelengths carries unique information in many astronomical applications ranging from disks and planet formation around young stars, to galax…
Demonstrating Single Photon Counting with Kinetic Inductance Detectors from 3.8 to 25 m
Wilbert G. Ras-Vinke, Kevin Kouwenhoven, Jochem J. A. Baselmans +4
One of the primary objectives of modern astronomy is the atmospheric characterization of Earth-like exoplanets at visible and infrared wavelengths. Achieving this goal requires ext…
DESHIMA 2.0: A 200-400 GHz Ultra-wideband Integrated Superconducting Spectrometer
K. Karatsu, A. Endo, A. Moerman +26
DESHIMA (Deep Spectroscopic HIgh-redshift MApper) is a broadband integrated superconducting spectrometer (ISS) for millimeter (mm) / sub-millimeter (sub-mm) wave astronomy based on…
Demonstration of Ultra-Sensitive KIDs for Future THz Space Borne Polarimeters
Stephen J. C. Yates, Alejandro Pascual Laguna, Willem Jellema +8
We present measurements and simulations of the polarization purity of leaky lens-antenna coupled microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) at 1.5 THz. We find the integrated cr…
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…
