4GREAT -- a four-color receiver for high-resolution airborne terahertz spectroscopy

Carlos A. Durán, Rolf Güsten, Christophe Risacher +13

4GREAT is an extension of the German Receiver for Astronomy at Terahertz frequencies (GREAT) operated aboard the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). The spect…

New laboratory techniques using heterodyne receivers

Nadine Wehres, Kirill Borisov, Katharina von Schoeler +4

Two laboratory emission spectrometers have been designed and described previously. Here, we present a follow-up study with special focus on absolute intensity calibration of the ne…

The upGREAT 1.9 THz multi-pixel high resolution spectrometer for the SOFIA Observatory

C. Risacher, R. Guesten, J. Stutzki +19

We present a new multi-pixel high resolution (R >10^7) spectrometer for the Stratospheric Observatory for Far-Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). The receiver uses 2 x 7-pixel subarrays in…

Improved Nb SIS devices for heterodyne mixers between 700 GHz and 1.3 THz with NbTiN transmission lines using a normal metal energy relaxation layer

M. P. Westig, S. Selig, K. Jacobs +2

In this paper we demonstrate experimentally the implementation of a niobium-trilayer junction with an aluminum-oxide tunnel barrier, embedded in a high-gap superconducting niobium-…
