    MKIDs for optical, infrared, and millimeter wave telescopes
    Oral Contribution
    The New IRAM KID Array 2 (NIKA2) instrument is a camera installed at the IRAM 30-meters telescope based on superconducting Kinetic Inductance Detectors. Reaching a total of more than 3000 pixels split between two separate bands (2mm and 1.15mm), and the ability to make polarization-sensitive observations in the lower wavelength channel, NIKA2 will be an fundamental tool for a wide spectra of...

    MKIDs for optical, infrared, and millimeter wave telescopes
    Oral Contribution
    SuperSpec is a novel, ultra-compact spectrometer-on-a-chip for millimeter and submillimeter wavelength astronomy. Its very small size, wide spectral bandwidth, and highly multiplexed detector readout will enable construction of powerful multibeam spectrometers for high-redshift observations of dusty star forming galaxies and intensity mapping of spectral lines from unresolved sources. ...

  3. 10. The SpaceKIDs Project: Development of Kinetic Inductance Detector Arrays for Space Applications
    Dr Pete Barry (Cardiff University)

    MKIDs for optical, infrared, and millimeter wave telescopes
    Oral Contribution
    Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) offer the unique combination of excellent sensitivity to THz radiation along with minimal cryogenic complexity. The goal of the SpaceKIDs project is to work on the developments needed to enable this technology for both low-background (astrophysical) and high-background (Earth-observing) applications. Two laboratory demonstrator systems have been built to...
