Towards 100,000-pixel microcalorimeter arrays using multi-absorber transition-edge sensors
S. J. Smith, J. S. Adams, S. R. Bandler +15
We report on the development of multi-absorber transition edge sensors (TESs), referred to as hydras. A hydra consists of multiple x-ray absorbers each with a different thermal con…
A Broadband Micro-machined Far-Infrared Absorber
Edward J. Wollack, Aaron M. Datesman, Christine A. Jhabvala +2
The experimental investigation of a broadband far-infrared meta-material absorber is described. The observed absorptance is from () ov…
Performance and on-sky optical characterization of the SPTpol instrument
E. M. George, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +62
In January 2012, the 10m South Pole Telescope (SPT) was equipped with a polarization-sensitive camera, SPTpol, in order to measure the polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwa…
SPTpol: an instrument for CMB polarization measurements with the South Pole Telescope
J. E. Austermann, K. A. Aird, J. A. Beall +58
SPTpol is a dual-frequency polarization-sensitive camera that was deployed on the 10-meter South Pole Telescope in January 2012. SPTpol will measure the polarization anisotropy of…
Feedhorn-coupled TES polarimeter camera modules at 150 GHz for CMB polarization measurements with SPTpol
J. W. Henning, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +58
The SPTpol camera is a dichroic polarimetric receiver at 90 and 150 GHz. Deployed in January 2012 on the South Pole Telescope (SPT), SPTpol is looking for faint polarization signal…
Design and characterization of 90 GHz feedhorn-coupled TES polarimeter pixels in the SPTpol camera
J. T. Sayre, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +58
The SPTpol camera is a two-color, polarization-sensitive bolometer receiver, and was installed on the 10 meter South Pole Telescope in January 2012. SPTpol is designed to study the…
