The Klystron: A Microwave Source of Surprising Range and Endurance
This year marks the 60 anniversary of the birth of the klystron at Stanford University. The tube was the first practical source of microwaves and its invention initiated a search for increasingly more powerful sources, which continues to this day. This paper reviews the scientific uses of the klystron and outlines its operating principles. The history of the device is traced, from its scientifi...

Frequency Selective Bolometers (FSBs) are a new type of detector for millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths that are transparent to all but a narrow range of frequencies as set by characteristics of the absorber itself. Therefore, stacks of FSBs tuned to different frequencies provide a low-loss compact method for utilizing a large fraction of the light collected by a telescope. Tests of prot...
متن کاملSCUBA sub-millimeter observations of gamma-ray bursts III. GRB 030329: the brightest sub-millimeter afterglow to date
We present all the Target of Opportunity (ToO) sub-millimeter observations of GRB 030329 taken by the Sub-millimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). This was by far the brightest sub-millimeter afterglow seen to date. The flux density at 850 μm was approximately constant up to a break that took place ∼7 days after the burst. This was consistent w...
متن کاملIce and Water Permittivities for Millimeter and Sub-millimeter Remote Sensing Applications
Recent advances in satellite remote sensing at near-millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths (~100-3000 GHz) require accurate complex permittivity for ice and liquid water at these frequencies for different temperatures, especially for cold atmospheric conditions. This paper summarizes the existing experimental permittivity data in the literature, and provides an updated empirical ice permitti...

We discuss our ongoing program of Target of Opportunity (ToO) sub-millimeter observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using the Sub-millimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). In this paper, we present all the ToO observations of GRB 030329. This was by far the brightest sub-millimeter afterglow seen to date. The flux density at 850 µm was approxim...
