Daniel T. Becker, James A. Beall, Hsiao-Mei Cho, William Duncan, Kent D. Irwin, Gene C. Hilton, Robert D. Horansky, Peter J. Lowell, Michael D. Niemack, Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., Carl D. Reintsema, Francis J. Schima, Robert E. Schwall, Ki W. Yoon, Peter Ade, Carole Tucker, Simon Dicker, Mark Halpern
We are developing a 350 GHz cryogenic passive video imaging system. This demonstration system uses 800 photon-noise-limited superconducting transition edge sensor bolometers. It will image a 1 m x 1 m area at a standoff distance of 16 m to a resolution of

Progress Toward Corrugated Feed Horn Arrays in Silicon

Joseph W. Britton, Ki W. Yoon, James A. Beall, Daniel T. Becker, Hsiao-Mei Cho, Gene C. Hilton, Michael D. Niemack, Kent D. Irwin
We are developing monolithic arrays of corrugated feed horns fabricated in silicon for dual-polarization single mode operation at 90, 145 and 220 GHz. The arrays consist of hundreds of platelet feed horns assembled from gold coated stacks of micromachined
