Characterising the optical response of ultra-low-noise far-infrared 60-110 m transition edge sensors
Emily A. Williams, Stafford Withington, David J. Goldie +3
Far-infrared Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) are being developed for the SAFARI grating spectrometer on the cooled-aperture space telescope SPICA. In support of this work, we have d…
Superconducting transition edge sensors with phononic thermal isolation
Emily A. Williams, Stafford Withington, Christopher N. Thomas +2
The sensitivity of a low-noise superconducting transition edge sensor (TES) is determined by the thermal conductance of the support structure that connects the active elements of t…
Thermal elastic-wave attenuation in low-dimensional SiN bars at low temperatures
Stafford Withington, Emily Williams, David J. Goldie +2
At low temperatures, < 200 mK, the thermal flux through low-dimensional amorphous dielectric bars, < 2 m wide and 200 nm thick, is transported by a small number of low-order ela…
On the transmission of light through tilted interference filters
A. O. Sushkov, E. Williams, D. Budker
The transmission characteristics of commercial interference filters are not quite what we expected from the specifications provided by manufacturers. The unexpectedly sharp depende…
Kerr effect in liquid helium at temperatures below the superfluid transition
A. O. Sushkov, E. Williams, V. V. Yashchuk +2
The electro-optical Kerr effect induced by a slowly-varying applied electric field in liquid helium at temperatures below the -point is investigated. The Kerr constant of liquid…
