Millimeter and sub-millimeter characterization of polymers used for infrared filters in high-sensitivity cryogenic microwave telescopes
Miranda Eiben, Rustam Balafendiev, Thomas Gascard +1
Vacuum windows and infrared filters are important transmissive optical components in millimeter receivers, as they hold out the atmosphere and reduce radiative loading on cold stag…
