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…
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…
Alignment and optical verification of DESHIMA 2.0 at ASTE
A. Moerman, K. Karatsu, J. J. A. Baselmans +12
We developed, characterized, and verified an alignment procedure for the DESHIMA 2.0 instrument, an ultra wide-band spectrometer operating between 200--400 GHz, at the ASTE telesco…
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…
