PILOT: a balloon-borne experiment to measure the polarized FIR emission of dust grains in the interstellar medium
R. Misawa, J-Ph. Bernard, P. Ade +26
Future cosmology space missions will concentrate on measuring the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background, which potentially carries invaluable information about the earlie…
Amplification of OAM Radiation by Astrophysical Masers
Malcolm Gray, Giampaolo Pisano, Stefania Maccalli +1
We extend the theory of astrophysical maser propagation through a medium with a Zeeman-split molecular response to the case of a non-uniform magnetic field, and allow a component o…
High performance WR-1.5 corrugated horn based on stacked rings
Bruno Maffei, Arndt von Bieren, Emile de Rijk +4
We present the development and characterisation of a high frequency (500-750 GHz) corrugated horn based on stacked rings. A previous horn design, based on a Winston profile, has be…
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…
The Next Generation BLAST Experiment
Nicholas Galitzki, Peter A. R. Ade, Francesco E. Angilè +38
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol) was a suborbital experiment designed to map magnetic fields in order to study their role in star…
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…
