Electronics and multiplexed readout
Oral Contribution
We have developed a model for calculating the linear and non-linear behaviour of Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) in the time domain. Crucially, the simulator works in `real time', producing the time-sequence data that would be measured in an experiment. In other words, the value of every independent variable is specified at an instant in time, and then the value of every dependent variable...

MKIDs for optical, infrared, and millimeter wave telescopes
Oral Contribution
I will describe the status of the readout software and electronics for the BLAST-TNG linear polarization sensitive MKIDs arrays. The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (The Next Generation) will fly more than 3000 pixels combined with a 2.5m carbon fiber primary mirror to make diffraction limited observation at 250, 350 and 500 microns. It will map mearby molecular clouds and...

Electronics and multiplexed readout
Oral Contribution
The Microwave SQUID Multiplexer combines dissipationless rf-SQUIDs and superconducting microwave resonators, encoding the signal from each input channels in its own microwave tone, summing many tones onto a common output channel. Its principal advantage over existing multiplexing technologies is the large (~4 GHz) available output bandwidth. This bandwidth allows the multiplexed readout of...

Electronics and multiplexed readout
Oral Contribution
Metallic magnetic calorimeters (MMCs) are the devices of choice for many spectroscopic applications since they provide a very good energy resolution, a very fast intrinsic signal rise time as well as an excellent linearity. While single MMCs or small detector arrays are typically read out by dc-SQUIDs, the readout of very large arrays requires a cryogenic multiplexing technique to reduce the...

Electronics and multiplexed readout
Oral Contribution
MUSTANG2 is a 90 GHz feedhorn-coupled, microwave SQUID-multiplexed TES bolometer array, with 215 unpolarized pixels. The microstrip-coupled detector technology was developed by a collaboration consisting of NIST, Princeton, the University of Chicago, the University of Colorado, and the University of Michigan. The collaboration has already produced detectors that have been thoroughly tested and...
