  1. 24. Polarization-sensitive MKID arrays fabricated from TiN/Ti multilayers
    Dr Johannes Hubmayr (NIST)

    MKIDs for optical, infrared, and millimeter wave telescopes
    Oral Contribution
    In recent years, NIST has started a program to develop microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) for polarimetric imaging applications over a broad range of observation frequencies (~90 GHz to 1.4 THz). In this talk, we overview the current status of feedhorn-coupled and dual-polarization sensitive MKIDs fabricated from Ti/TiN multilayer films. We describe extensive materials...

  2. 19. MoBiKID - Kinetic Inductance Detectors for upcoming B-mode satellite missions
    Angelo Cruciani (ROMA1)

    MKIDs for optical, infrared, and millimeter wave telescopes
    Oral Contribution
    Our comprehension of the dawn of universe grew incredibly during last years, pointing to the existence of the cosmic inflation. The primordial B-mode polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) represents a unique probe to confirm this hypothesis. The detection of such small perturbations of the CMB is a challenge that will be faced in the near future by a new dedicated satellite...

  3. 9. Development of Octave-band Planar Ortho-Mode Transducer with MKID for LiteBIRD
    Mr Shibo Shu (The University of Tokyo)

    MKIDs for optical, infrared, and millimeter wave telescopes
    Oral Contribution
    LiteBIRD is a next-generation satellite mission for measuring the primordial B-modes polarization signals of CMB. We describe a design of octave-band corrugated horn coupled planar ortho-mode transducer (OMT) with Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) as a candidate detection technology for LiteBIRD. In our design, each single pixel contains 90 and 150 GHz two frequency bands,...

  4. 11. Design and simulation of the Kinetic Inductance Detector based spectrograph (KIDSpec) demonstrator
    Dr Sumedh Mahashabde (Department of Physics - Astrophysics, University of Oxford, OX1 3RH, Oxford, United Kingdom)
    24/06/2016, 11:15
    MKIDs for optical, infrared, and millimeter wave telescopes
    Oral Contribution
    We present the design of the demonstrator for KIDSpec, the Kinetic Inductance Detector based medium resolution spectrograph in the optical through near-IR band. This instrument uses the intrinsic energy resolution of MKIDs to distinguish photons from multiple diffraction orders using an échelle grating as the dispersion element. KIDSpec will use this order resolving capability to replace the...

  5. 18. Horn-coupled LEKID arrays for balloon-borne measurements of the CMB
    Alessandro Paiella (Sapienza & ROMA1)
    24/06/2016, 11:40
    MKIDs for optical, infrared, and millimeter wave telescopes
    Oral Contribution
    We are developing Horn-coupled Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detector Arrays close to the photon noise limit in the stratospheric environment for multi band Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) balloon-borne experiments. For this reason, we are focused on four spectral bands: two bands at 150 and 200 GHz, able to characterize the CMB emission; and two bands at 350 and 480 GHz, able to...
