An Open Source, FPGA-based LeKID readout for BLAST-TNG: Pre-flight Results

Samuel Gordon, Bradley Dober, Adrian Sinclair +17

We present a highly frequency multiplexed readout for large-format superconducting detector arrays intended for use in the next generation of balloon-borne and space-based sub-mill…

Magnetic field dependence of the internal quality factor and noise performance of lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors

Daniel Flanigan, Bradley R. Johnson, Maximilian H. Abitbol +8

We present a technique for increasing the internal quality factor of kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) by nulling ambient magnetic fields with a properly applied magnetic field.…

Polarization Sensitive Multi-Chroic MKIDs

Bradley R. Johnson, Daniel Flanigan, Maximilian H. Abitbol +18

We report on the development of scalable prototype microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) arrays tailored for future multi-kilo-pixel experiments that are designed to simulta…

Development of dual-polarization LEKIDs for CMB observations

Heather McCarrick, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Peter A. R. Ade +14

We discuss the design considerations and initial measurements from arrays of dual-polarization, lumped element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) nominally designed for cosmic m…

Design of 280 GHz feedhorn-coupled TES arrays for the balloon-borne polarimeter SPIDER

Johannes Hubmayr, Jason E. Austermann, James A. Beall +40

We describe 280 GHz bolometric detector arrays that instrument the balloon-borne polarimeter SPIDER. A primary science goal of SPIDER is to measure the large-scale B-mode polarizat…
