QUBIC - The Q&U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology - A novel way to look at the polarized Cosmic Microwave Background
A. Mennella, P. A. R. Ade, J. Aumont +105
In this paper we describe QUBIC, an experiment that takes up the challenge posed by the detection of primordial gravitational waves with a novel approach, that combines the sensiti…
Multi-Octave Metamaterial Reflective Half-Wave Plate for Millimetre and Sub-Millimetre wave Applications
Giampaolo Pisano, Bruno Maffei, Peter A. R. Ade +7
The quasi-optical modulation of linear polarization at millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths can be achieved by using rotating half wave plates (HWPs) in front of polarization…
QUBIC Technical Design Report
J. Aumont, S. Banfi, P. Battaglia +96
QUBIC is an instrument aiming at measuring the B mode polarisation anisotropies at medium scales angular scales (30-200 multipoles). The search for the primordial CMB B-mode polari…
Development of large radii half-wave plates for CMB satellite missions
G. Pisano, B. Maffei, M. W. Ng +12
The successful European Space Agency (ESA) Planck mission has mapped the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropy with unprecedented accuracy. However, Planck was n…
W-Band Pancharatnam Half Wave Plate Based on Negative Refractive Index Metamaterials
Imran Mohamed, Giampaolo Pisano, Ming Wah Ng
Electromagnetic metamaterials, made from arrangements of subwavelength sized structures, can be used to manipulate radiation. Designing metamaterials that have a positive refractiv…
Dog Bone Triplet Metamaterial Wave Plate
Imran Mohamed, Giampaolo Pisano, Ming Wah Ng +2
Metamaterials are artificially made sub-wavelength structures arranged in periodic arrays. They can be designed to interact with electromagnetic radiation in many different and int…
Latest Progress on the QUBIC Instrument
A. Ghribi, J. Aumont, E. S. Battistelli +60
QUBIC is a unique instrument that crosses the barriers between classical imaging architectures and interferometry taking advantage from both for high sensitivity and systematics mi…
The Large-Scale Polarization Explorer (LSPE)
The LSPE collaboration, S. Aiola, G. Amico +54
The LSPE is a balloon-borne mission aimed at measuring the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at large angular scales, and in particular to constrain the curl co…
A Translational Polarization Rotator
David T. Chuss, Edward J. Wollack, Giampaolo Pisano +3
We explore a free-space polarization modulator in which a variable phase introduction between right- and left-handed circular polarization components is used to rotate the linear p…
