Development of fast, background-limited transition-edge sensors for the background-limited infrared/sub-mm spectrograph (BLISS) for SPICA
We report experimental progress toward demonstrating background-limited arrays of membrane-isolated transition-edge sensors (TESs) for the Background Limited Infrared/Sub-mm Spectrograph (BLISS). BLISS is a space-borne instrument with grating spectrometers for wavelengths λ= 35-435μm and with R=λ/Δλ~500. The goals for BLISS TESs are: noise equivalent power (NEP) = 5×10 W/Hz and response time τ<...
متن کاملLow-background Far-infrared Telescope for Balloon-borne Infrared Astronomy
The design and performance of a new type of far-infrared telescope is discussed. The instrument is only 20cm in diameter, but its performance exceeds that of other telescopes at lOOp. The performance of far-infrared telescopes is limited not only by size but also by design and environment. The 30cm infrared telescope flown in the Nasa-Ames Lear Jet (Aumann, Low and Gillespie 1970) was limited b...
متن کاملNovel high-breakdown InGaAs/InAlAs pHEMTs for radio astronomy applications
By optimising the epitaxial layer profile of InGaAs-InAlAs pHEMTs we have demonstrated improved DC and RF performance from a new, low-cost, 1 μm-gate device structure in terms of breakdown voltage, leakage current and output conductance. A simple fabrication process is employed that does not use double-recess or composite-channel structures. No penalty was incurred on cut-off frequency or gain ...
متن کاملNitroreductase, a near-infrared reporter platform for in vivo time-domain optical imaging of metastatic cancer.
The ability to visualize reporter gene expression in vivo has revolutionized all facets of biologic investigation and none more so than imaging applications in oncology. Near-infrared reporter gene imaging may facilitate more accurate evaluation of chemotherapeutic response in preclinical models of orthotopic and metastatic cancers. We report the development of a cell permeable, quenched squari...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
