Lumped element kinetic inductance detectors maturity for space-borne instruments in the range between 80 and 180 GHz
A. Catalano, A. Benoit, O. Bourrion +7
This work intends to give the state-of-the-art of our knowledge of the performance of LEKIDs at millimetre wavelengths (from 80 to 180~GHz). We evaluate their optical sensitivity u…
WSPEC: A waveguide filter-bank focal plane array spectrometer for millimeter wave astronomy and cosmology
Sean Bryan, James Aguirre, George Che +9
Imaging and spectroscopy at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths are key frontiers in astronomy and cosmology. Large area spectral surveys with moderate spectral resolution (R=50-200) will…
First polarised light with the NIKA camera
A. Ritacco, R. Adam, A. Adane +39
NIKA is a dual-band camera operating with 315 frequency multiplexed LEKIDs cooled at 100 mK. NIKA is designed to observe the sky in intensity and polarisation at 150 and 260 GHz fr…
High-energy interactions in Kinetic Inductance Detectors arrays
A. D'Addabbo, M. Calvo, J. Goupy +5
The impacts of Cosmic Rays on the detectors are a key problem for space-based missions. We are studying the effects of such interactions on arrays of Kinetic Inductance Detectors (…
Bi-layer Kinetic Inductance Detectors for space observations between 80-120 GHz
A. Catalano, J. Goupy, H. le Sueur +9
We have developed Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors (LEKID) sensitive in the frequency band from 80 to 120~GHz. In this work, we take advantage of the so-called proximity…
