Optics and broadband anti-reflection coatings for the BA4-90/150 receiver
A. R. Polish, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +84
The BICEP Array telescopes search for primordial B-mode polarization from inflationary gravitational waves. This signal is exceedingly faint, demanding excellent map depth and syst…

Optical characterization of the BICEP array 150 and 220/270GHz CMB polarimeters in the 2026 season
M. Izquierdo Poza, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +82
BICEP Array (BA) is the current-generation instrument in the BICEP series of small-aperture, on-axis refracting telescopes at the South Pole, designed to constrain the tensor-to-sc…

Overview and status of BICEP Array's BA4-90/150 CMB polarimeter
M. A. Petroff, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
The inflation paradigm postulates a period of rapid expansion in the early Universe, which would generate gravitational waves. These tensor perturbations would produce a faint B-mo…
