First Astronomical Use of Multiplexed Transition Edge Bolometers

February 1, 2002
Author(s)
D. J. Benford, Troy A. Ames, James A. Chervenak, Erich N. Grossman, Kent D. Irwin, S. A. De Kotwara, B. Maffci, S. H. Mosely, Francois Pajot, Thomas G. Phillips, Carl D. Reintsema, Cyrille Rioux, Rick A. Shafer, Johannes G. Staguhn, C. Vastel, George M. Voellmer
We present performance results based on the first astronomical use of mutiplexed superconducting bolometers. The Fabry-Perot Interferometer Bolometer Research Experiment (FIBRE) is a broadband submillimeter spectrometer that achieved first light in June

Time-Division SQUID Multiplexers

Kent D. Irwin, Leila R. Vale, Norman F. Bergren, Steven Deiker, Erich N. Grossman, Gene C. Hilton, John M. Martinis, Sae Woo Nam, Carl D. Reintsema, David A. Rudman, Martin Huber
SQUID multiplexers (MUX) make is possible to build arrays of thousands of low-temperature bolometers and microcalorimeters based on superconducting transition-edge sensors (TES) with a manageable number of readout channels. We discuss the technical

Design of an Active MM-Wave Concealed Object Imaging System

August 1, 2001
Author(s)
Nicholas Paulter, Erich N. Grossman, Gerard N. Stenbakken, Bryan C. Waltrip, Shalva Nolen, Carl D. Reintsema
The research and design of an active millimeter-wave concealed object imaging system is described. Several illumination and detection methods were analyzed via computer simulation to assess the effects of system parameters on the signal-to-noise ratio of

Properties of Cavity-Backed Slot-Ring Antennas at 95 GHZ

August 1, 2001
Author(s)
Shalva Nolen, Todd E. Harvey, Carl D. Reintsema, Erich N. Grossman
Slot-ring antennas with planar backshorts, designed for operation at 95 GHz, have been fabricated and their properties measured. Using optical lithography, we fabricated the slot-ring antennas, along with integrated niobium thin-film biolometers, on

Recent Developments in the NIST Cryogenic Thermal Transfer Standard Project

We describe the development of a cryogenic thermal transfer standard (CTTS) from the first prototype in 1997 to the present version. A description of the superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) and the development of a superconducting input

Sub-Picowatt Precision Radiometry Using Superconducting Transition Edge Sensor Bolometers

March 1, 2001
Author(s)
James A. Chervenak, Erich N. Grossman, Carl D. Reintsema, Kent D. Irwin, S. H. Mosely, C. A. Allen
We describe a cryogenic radiometric calibration system suitable for high sensitivity, low power bolometers. The system uses a variable temperature blackbody source capable of temperatures of 4-20 K, whose output covers the sub-millimeter wavelength regime
