An Overhanging Absorber for TES X-ray Focal Planes

December 23, 2016
Author(s)
James P. Hays-Wehle, Peter J. Lowell, Daniel R. Schmidt, Daniel S. Swetz, Joel N. Ullom
In order to improve pixel count and collecting area, future TES x-ray focal planes require pixels with both a higher coverage of the active area and compatibility with in-focal-plane multiplexing. We anticipate these improvements by developing a pixel with

FINE-TUNING ELECTRICAL FLOW RATE SENSING IN DEFORMABLE CHANNELS

October 9, 2016
Author(s)
Pengfei Niu, Brian J. Nablo, Kiran Bhadriraju, Darwin Reyes-Hernandez
Here we present conclusive proof that when using electrical impedance to measure volumetric flow rate in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels a considerable fraction of the change in impedance, due to change in flow rate, is caused by the variation in

Low noise resistive bolometer read out for wideband room temperature infrared detector

September 25, 2016
Author(s)
Ivan Ryger, Malcolm G. White, Nathan A. Tomlin, John H. Lehman, Peter Lobotka, Dave Harber
The absolute electrical substitution radiometer is the way to ensure highly accurate and stable measurement of optical power in wide range of optical wavelength. Its sensitivity is mainly determined by temperature stability of the equithermal bath and

Low noise thermistor read out for wideband room temperature infrared detectors

Code-division-multiplexed readout of large arrays of TES microcalorimeters

September 15, 2016
Author(s)
Kelsey M. Morgan, Bradley K. Alpert, Douglas A. Bennett, William B. Doriese, Joseph W. Fowler, Johnathon D. Gard, Gene C. Hilton, Kent D. Irwin, Young Il Joe, Galen C. O'Neil, Carl D. Reintsema, Edward V. Denison, Daniel R. Schmidt, Joel N. Ullom, Daniel S. Swetz
Code-division multiplexing (CDM) offers a path to reading out large arrays of transition edge sensor (TES) X-ray micro-calorimeters with excellent energy and timing resolution. We demonstrate the readout of X-ray TESs with a 32-channel flux-summed code

Design of 280 GHz feedhorn-coupled TES arrays for the balloon-borne polarimeter SPIDER

July 7, 2016
Author(s)
Johannes Hubmayr, Jason E. Austermann, James A. Beall, Daniel T. Becker, Shannon M. Duff, Arpi L. Grigorian, Gene C. Hilton, Joel N. Ullom, Michael R. Vissers
We describe 280 GHz bolometric detector arrays that instrument the balloon-borne polarimeter spider. A primary science goal of spider is to measure large-scale B-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave back-ground (cmb) in search of the cosmic-inflation

A Simulation Framework for Industrial Wireless Networks and Process Control Systems

May 6, 2016
Author(s)
Yongkang Liu, Richard Candell, Nader Moayeri, Kang B. Lee
Factory and process automation systems are increasingly employing information and communications technologies to facilitate data sharing and analysis in integrated control operations. Wireless connections provide flexible access to a variety of field
