Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors for space applications
Alessandro Monfardini, Jochem Baselmans, Alain Benoit +12
Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID) are now routinely used in ground-based telescopes. Large arrays, deployed in formats up to kilopixels, exhibit state-of-the-art performance at mi…
The NIKA2 instrument, a dual-band kilopixel KID array for millimetric astronomy
M. Calvo, A. Benoit, A. Catalano +45
NIKA2 (New IRAM KID Array 2) is a camera dedicated to millimeter wave astronomy based upon kilopixel arrays of Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID). The pathfinder instrument, NIKA,…
Development of Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors for the W-Band
A. Paiella, A. Coppolecchia, M. G. Castellano +6
We are developing a Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detector (LEKID) array able to operate in the W-band (75-110 GHz) in order to perform ground-based Cosmic Microwave Background…
Lumped element kinetic inductance detectors maturity for space-borne instruments in the range between 80 and 180 GHz
A. Catalano, A. Benoit, O. Bourrion +7
This work intends to give the state-of-the-art of our knowledge of the performance of LEKIDs at millimetre wavelengths (from 80 to 180~GHz). We evaluate their optical sensitivity u…
High-energy interactions in Kinetic Inductance Detectors arrays
A. D'Addabbo, M. Calvo, J. Goupy +5
The impacts of Cosmic Rays on the detectors are a key problem for space-based missions. We are studying the effects of such interactions on arrays of Kinetic Inductance Detectors (…
Bi-layer Kinetic Inductance Detectors for space observations between 80-120 GHz
A. Catalano, J. Goupy, H. le Sueur +9
We have developed Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors (LEKID) sensitive in the frequency band from 80 to 120~GHz. In this work, we take advantage of the so-called proximity…
