Modeling and characterization of the SPIDER half-wave plate
Sean A. Bryan, Peter A. R. Ade, Mandana Amiri +42
Spider is a balloon-borne array of six telescopes that will observe the Cosmic Microwave Background. The 2624 antenna-coupled bolometers in the instrument will make a polarization…

Modeling dielectric half-wave plates for cosmic microwave background polarimetry using a Mueller matrix formalism
Sean A. Bryan, Thomas E. Montroy, John E. Ruhl
We derive an analytic formula using the Mueller matrix formalism that parameterizes the nonidealities of a half-wave plate (HWP) made from dielectric antireflection-coated birefrin…
