A Superconducting Phase Shifter and Traveling Wave Kinetic Inductance Parametric Amplifier for W-Band Astronomy

George Che, Samuel Gordon, Peter Day +7

The W-Band () sky contains a plethora of information about star formation, galaxy evolution and the cosmic microwave background. We have designed and fabrica…

Instrumental performance and results from testing of the BLAST-TNG receiver, submillimeter optics, and MKID arrays

Nicholas Galitzki, Peter Ade, Francesco E. Angile +39

Polarized thermal emission from interstellar dust grains can be used to map magnetic fields in star forming molecular clouds and the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM). The Balloon-…

Development of dual-polarization LEKIDs for CMB observations

Heather McCarrick, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Peter A. R. Ade +14

We discuss the design considerations and initial measurements from arrays of dual-polarization, lumped element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) nominally designed for cosmic m…

Photon noise from chaotic and coherent millimeter-wave sources measured with horn-coupled, aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors

Daniel Flanigan, Heather McCarrick, Glenn Jones +18

We report photon-noise limited performance of horn-coupled, aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors at millimeter wavelengths. The detectors are illuminated by a milli…

WSPEC: A waveguide filter-bank focal plane array spectrometer for millimeter wave astronomy and cosmology

Sean Bryan, James Aguirre, George Che +9

Imaging and spectroscopy at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths are key frontiers in astronomy and cosmology. Large area spectral surveys with moderate spectral resolution (R=50-200) will…

WSPEC: A Waveguide Filter Bank Spectrometer

George Che, Sean Bryan, Matthew Underhill +7

We have designed, fabricated, and measured a 5-channel prototype spectrometer pixel operating in the WR10 band to demonstrate a novel moderate-resolution (R=f/Δf~100), multi-pixel,…
