Electrical performances of pre-production staves for the ATLAS ITk Strip Detector Upgrade

The ATLAS experiment is currently preparing for an upgrade of the inner tracking detector for the High-Luminosity LHC. The new tracker, ITk, employs an all-silicon detector with outer strip layers. The building block of the ITk strip barrel is the stave which consists of a low-mass support structure hosting the common electrical, optical and cooling services as well as 28 silicon modules. In this contribution, we outline the challenging aspects of the stave pre-production testing phase at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Here, the electrical characterization of these staves, hosting the final design of all ASICs, will be discussed in detail.

High resolution atomic force microscopy with an active piezoelectric microcantilever

Active microcantilevers with on-chip sensing and actuation provide significant advantages in tapping mode Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Collocated transduction allows for effective manipulation of cantilever dynamics through feedback control, enabling higher scan rates. However, the adjacency of the sensing and actuation electrodes is known to result in a high level of feedthrough, leading to a low imaging resolution. Readout circuit noise further deteriorates the imaging precision. Here, we investigate the noise sources that affect AFM microcantilevers with collocated aluminum nitride (AlN) actuator–sensor pairs. We reported these cantilevers in earlier work and demonstrated that they display a very low level of feedthrough between the actuation and sensing electrodes. We present a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) sensing method that enables us to demonstrate high-resolution AFM on a calibration grating with nm-step silicon carbide (SiC) terraces. In conclusion, measuring the Lorentzian response of the cantilever’s Brownian motion with the on-chip active sensor at resonance enables us to calibrate the dynamic stiffness at the first fundamental resonance mode, without utilizing an optical sensor.

Gamma Ray Burst Optical Counterpart Search Experiment (GROCSE)

GROCSE (Gamma-Ray Optical Counterpart Search Experiments) is a system of automated telescopes that search for simultaneous optical activity associated with gamma ray bursts in response to real-time burst notifications provided by the BATSE/BACODINE network. The first generation system, GROCSE 1, is sensitive down to Mv (approximately) 8.5 and requires an average of 12 seconds to obtain the first images of the gamma ray burst error box defined by the BACODINE trigger. The collaboration is now constructing a second generation system which has a 4 second slewing time and can reach Mv (approximately) 14 with a 5 second exposure. GROCSE 2 consists of 4 cameras on a single mount. Each camera views the night sky through a commercial Canon lens (f/1.8, focal length 200 mm) and utilizes a 2K x 2K Loral CCD. Light weight and low noise custom readout electronics were designed and fabricated for these CCDs. The total field of view of the 4 cameras is 17.6 x 17.6 (degree). GROCSE 2 will be operated by the end of 1995. In this paper, the authors present an overview of the GROCSE system and the results of measurements with a GROCSE 2 prototype unit.

Multi-qubit nanoscale sensing with entanglement as a resource

Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centres in diamond are widely deployed as local magnetic sensors, using single-qubit control to measure both time-averaged fields and noise with nanoscale spatial resolution. Moving beyond single qubits to multi-qubit control enables new sensing modalities such as measuring nonlocal spatiotemporal correlators or using entangled states to enhance measurement sensitivity. Here, in this work, we describe protocols for using optically unresolved NV centre pairs and nuclear spins as multi-qubit sensors for measuring correlated noise at nanometre length scales. For noninteracting NV centres, we implement a phase-cycling protocol that disambiguates magnetic correlations from variance fluctuations, leveraging the presence of a third qubit, a 13 C nucleus, to effect coherent single-NV spin flips and enable phase cycling even for co-aligned NV centres that are spectrally unresolved. For length scales around 10 nm, we create maximally entangled Bell states through dipole–dipole coupling between two NV centres and use these entangled states to directly read out the magnetic field correlation, rather than reconstructing it from independent measurements of unentangled NV centres. Importantly, this changes the scaling of sensitivity with readout noise from quadratic to linear. For conventional off-resonant readout of the NV centre spin state (for which the readout noise is roughly 30 times the quantum projection limit), this results in more than an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity. Finally, we demonstrate methods for detecting high spatial- and temporal-resolution correlators with pairs of strongly interacting NV centres.

SPT-3G+: mapping the high-frequency cosmic microwave background using kinetic inductance detectors

We present the design and science goals of SPT-3G+, a new camera for the South Pole Telescope, which will consist of a dense array of 34100 kinetic inductance detectors measuring the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at 220, 285 and 345 GHz. The SPT-3G+ dataset will enable new constraints on the process of reionization, including measurements of the patchy kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect and improved constraints on the optical depth due to reionization. At the same time, it will serve as a pathfinder for the detection of Rayleigh scattering, which could allow future CMB surveys to constrain cosmological parameters better than from the primary CMB alone. In addition, the combined, multi-band SPT-3G and SPT-3G+ survey data, will have several synergies that enhance the original SPT-3G survey, including: extending the redshift-reach of SZ cluster surveys to z > 2; understanding the relationship between magnetic fields and star formation in our Galaxy; improved characterization of the impact of dust on inflationary B-mode searches; and characterizing astrophysical transients at the boundary between mm and sub-mm wavelengths. Finally, the modular design of the SPT-3G+ camera allows it to serve as an on-sky demonstrator for new detector technologies employing microwave readout, such as the on-chip spectrometers that we expect to deploy during the SPT-3G+ survey. In this paper, we describe the science goals of the project and the key technology developments that enable its powerful yet compact design.

Sensor Integrated Pilot Mask for On-Board, Real-Time, Monitoring of Pilot Breathing Gas

A pilot's job is unique in the demands it places on the human body, and many conditions can seriously affect pilot performance, threatening mission completion and pilot safety. The gas in a flight mask contains key indicators of the pilot's physiological state, including oxygen inhaled and carbon dioxide exhaled, which can signal hypoxia, hyperoxia, hypocapnia, and hypercapnia. A fiber optic-based sensor system, integrated into the pilot mask, has been developed to monitor in real time, during flight, the pilot breathing gas levels. Monitoring the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the pilot mask supports real-time closed loop control of the on-board oxygen generation system, based on a direct reading of what the pilot is actually breathing. The pilot Mask Sensor (MASES) system incorporates luminescence sensors for pO2, pCO2, relative humidity, pressure, and temperature in a compact probe in the pilot mask; it is based on sensor technology developed for gas monitoring in space suit systems, in work supported by NASA under the Small Business Innovation Research program. Relevant requirements for the MASES system include sensor operation while wet, operation at reduced pressure, ability to withstand rapid decompression, operation in a pure oxygen atmosphere, low power consumption, a compact readout unit, and flexible miniature sensors; many of these requirements are shared with gas monitors in space suits. Data are presented from tests conducted with human subjects in an altitude chamber and in a centrifuge.

The FastrSHWFS Project Development Motivation, Analysis, & Test Results

The recent 2020 Decadal Survey of Astronomy and Astrophysics listed habitable exoplanet imaging with future extreme adaptive optics (AO) on 30m-class telescopes as a key priority in the coming decade. However, there is a current 100x contrast gap between the best systems today and what is needed to enable this goal. Astronomical AO is a required approach to enable ground-based diffraction-limited imaging of exoplanets on future extremely large telescopes. Time lag between the end of an exposure and the application of deformable mirror commands is a major contributor to the error budget in many AO systems, and detector read time is often a large component of this lag. We present two designs for a modified Shack Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWFS), named Focal plane Actualized Shifted Technique Realized for a SHWFS (fastrSHWFS), to reduce the time lag component. This design steers the spot pattern at the focal plane into a rectangular or linear array with a custom aspect ratio, reducing readout time. The mask with focus yields aberrated results while the mask with tip/tilt only yields some defined spots. This essay outlines the current SHWFS concept, our fastrSHWFS theoretical solution to addressing time lag, reflection and quality analysis of printed mask designs, and results from testing both masks on the High Contrast Testbed at Lawrence Livermore National Lab. This work follows the test of a previous fastrSHWFS design.

Real-time analysis keratometer

A computer assisted keratometer in which a fiducial line pattern reticle illuminated by CW or pulsed laser light is projected on a corneal surface through lenses, a prismoidal beamsplitter quarterwave plate, and objective optics. The reticle surface is curved as a conjugate of an ideal corneal curvature. The fiducial image reflected from the cornea undergoes a polarization shift through the quarterwave plate and beamsplitter whereby the projected and reflected beams are separated and directed orthogonally. The reflected beam fiducial pattern forms a moire pattern with a replica of the first recticle. This moire pattern contains transverse aberration due to differences in curvature between the cornea and the ideal corneal curvature. The moire pattern is analyzed in real time by computer which displays either the CW moire pattern or a pulsed mode analysis of the transverse aberration of the cornea under observation, in real time. With the eye focused on a plurality of fixation points in succession, a survey of the entire corneal topography is made and a contour map or three dimensional plot of the cornea can be made as a computer readout in addition to corneal radius and refractive power analysis.

Radiometric and Radiation Response of Visible FPAs

The readout integrated circuit (ROIC) used in these devices was originally developed for use in space based infrared systems operating at deep cryogenic temperatures and was selected because of its proven tolerance to total ionizing radiation? The detectors are a 128 x 128 array of 60 pm x 60 pm pixel elements that have been anti-reflection (AR) coated to improve the response at very short wavelengths. These visible focal plane arrays were operated at -40 C (233 K). Two focal planes were characterized using cobalt-60 radiation to produce ionizing total dose damage in the VFPAs. Both operational and performance data were obtained as functions of total dose. The first device tested showed no appreciable change in responsivity or noise up to 300 krad(Si). However, at the next dose level of 600 krad(Si), the readout was non-operational due to failure in the digital circuitry. The second device was characterized to a total dose of 750 krad(Si) with no observed change in responsivity. An increase dark current was observed in both devices, and in the second device, the dark current caused an increase in noise at low irradiance at 400 krad(Si) and above. The increase in dark current was somewhat un-expected for visible PIN detectors. The median dark current increased more than two orders of magnitude at 300 krad(Si) for the first device and a factor of 350 at 750 krad(Si) for pixels near the edge for the second device. The dark current was found to be a strong function of detector bias, with pixels near the edge of the array showing a greater increase in dark current with bias than those near the center. Since the optical response was not a function of bias, it is hypothesized that the dark current is a surface effect and that the variation in dark current with location is due to a variation in pixel bias, caused by a voltage drop across the pixel common lead. As the total dose increased, the dark current and the voltage drop increased

Sub-Femto-g Free Fall for Space-Based Gravitational Wave Observatories: LISA Pathfinder Results

We report the first results of the LISA Pathfinder in-flight experiment. The results demonstrate that two free-falling reference test masses, such as those needed for a space-based gravitational wave observatory like LISA, can be put in free fall with a relative acceleration noise with a square root of the power spectral density of 5.2 +/- 0.1 fm s(exp -2)/square root of Hz, or (0.54 +/- 0.01) x 10(exp -15) g/square root of Hz, with g the standard gravity, for frequencies between 0.7 and 20 mHz. This value is lower than the LISA Pathfinder requirement by more than a factor 5 and within a factor 1.25 of the requirement for the LISA mission, and is compatible with Brownian noise from viscous damping due to the residual gas surrounding the test masses. Above 60 mHz the acceleration noise is dominated by interferometer displacement readout noise at a level of (34.8 +/- 0.3) fm square root of Hz, about 2 orders of magnitude better than requirements. At f less than or equal to 0.5 mHz we observe a low-frequency tail that stays below 12 fm s(exp -2)/square root of Hz down to 0.1 mHz. This performance would allow for a space-based gravitational wave observatory with a sensitivity close to what was originally foreseen for LISA.

Harnessing Heterologous Bacterial Two-Component Systems as Biosensors to Address Challenges in Fermentation Scale-Up

Scaling up bacterial fermentation from bench to industrial scale often results in unpredictable performance losses, possibly in part due to changes in microenvironmental conditions such as pH. To investigate this, we developed a suite of pH-sensitive biosensors from bacterial two-component systems (TCSs) that provide a dynamic, fluorescent readout in response to extracellular pH changes. TCSs consist of a periplasmic sensor histidine kinase (HK) that, in response to an extracellular stimulus, autophosphorylates intracellularly and subsequently transfers the phosphate to a cognate response regulator (RR) that modulates transcription of target genes. We utilized three pH-responsive TCSs (referred to here as CVJ1, CVJ30, and CVJ79) and linked their output to GFP. This was achieved by placing the RR promoter upstream of GFP or by constructing a chimeric RR composed of the native receiver domain and the DNA-binding domain of another well-characterized RR with a defined promoter. All components - HK, RR (native or chimeric), and GFP under its corresponding promoter - were cloned into a broad-host-range plasmid. Sensors were validated in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida, including the muconic acid-producing strain P. putida TL207. All three biosensors successfully reported pH, with fluorescence (normalized to optical density) correlating strongly with media pH. Among the native sensors, CVJ79 showed the most robust performance while CVJ1 also performed best in its native form; CVJ30 exhibited improved functionality as a chimera, suggesting that modular RR design can enhance compatibility in some heterologous hosts. Further, CVJ79 was activated by alkaline conditions, while CVJ30 responded to acidic environments. Notably, CVJ1 was induced by high pH in wild-type E. coli and P. putida, but low pH in TL207. The observed differences in sensor activation between strains - particularly the divergent response of CVJ1 - suggest that host-specific regulatory pathways may influence how cells perceive and adapt to pH stress. Moving forward, these biosensors can be used to guide the rational design of more robust strains, optimize process conditions in real time, and inform strategies to minimize physiological heterogeneity during scale-up. Integrating these tools into high-throughput screening and bioreactors will be a key step toward improving predictability and performance in industrial bioprocesses.

Scintillation event imaging with a single photon avalanche diode camera

Position and time measurements of scintillation events encode information about the radiation source. Single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays offer multiple-megapixel spatial resolution and tens of picoseconds temporal resolution for detecting single photons. Current lensless designs for measuring scintillation events use sensors that are lower in spatial resolution. Camera-based designs use sensors that are lower in temporal resolution or readout rate and cannot image individual interactions. Here we propose to image scintillation events in a thick, monolithic scintillator using a high-resolution SPAD camera. We demonstrate that a commercial SPAD camera is able to gather sufficient signal to image individual scintillation events and observe 3D shifts in their spatial distribution. Simulations show that a SPAD camera can localize individual scintillation events in 3D. We report direct imaging of gamma-ray interactions in a scintillator with a SPAD camera. The proposed design may allow to measure complex signatures of individual particles interacting in the scintillator.

Spectrally Dependent Radiometric Measurement Errors Due to Ccd Serial Pixel-to-Pixel Readout Interference in the Ocean Color Instrument of the NASA PACE Mission

The Ocean Color Instrument on NASA’s PACE mission is a 322 887 nm hyperspectral imager with 1 km x 1 km nadir spatial resolution and 5 nm spectral resolution utilizing charge-coupled devices (CCDs) operating in Time Delay Integration (TDI) mode where each TDI column represents a different wavelength in 0.625 nm increments. After TDI, the charge is moved into serial output pixels and read out. The spatial resolution requires an 8.5 MHz readout rate. This only allows 59 ns for the CCD reset and video to be asserted and settled before sampling. The response exhibits serial pixel-to-pixel readout interference due to the lack of full settling. Each serial pixel value has a dependence on the value of the preceding pixel value. This leads to a spectrally dependent radiometric measurement error of up to 0.3 %. We explain the operation of the detection system, the behavior of the interference, and show the resulting measurement error based on data from both ground testing and on-orbit characterization.

Coding for Communication Channels with Dead-Time Constraints

Coding schemes have been designed and investigated specifically for optical and electronic data-communication channels in which information is conveyed via pulse-position modulation (PPM) subject to dead-time constraints. These schemes involve the use of error-correcting codes concatenated with codes denoted constrained codes. These codes are decoded using an interactive method. In pulse-position modulation, time is partitioned into frames of Mslots of equal duration. Each frame contains one pulsed slot (all others are non-pulsed). For a given channel, the dead-time constraints are defined as a maximum and a minimum on the allowable time between pulses. For example, if a Q-switched laser is used to transmit the pulses, then the minimum allowable dead time is the time needed to recharge the laser for the next pulse. In the case of bits recorded on a magnetic medium, the minimum allowable time between pulses depends on the recording/playback speed and the minimum distance between pulses needed to prevent interference between adjacent bits during readout. The maximum allowable dead time for a given channel is the maximum time for which it is possible to satisfy the requirement to synchronize slots. In mathematical shorthand, the dead-time constraints for a given channel are represented by the pair of integers (d,k), where d is the minimum allowable number of zeroes between ones and k is the maximum allowable number of zeroes between ones. A system of the type to which the present schemes apply is represented by a binary- input, real-valued-output channel model illustrated in the figure. At the transmitting end, information bits are first encoded by use of an error-correcting code, then further encoded by use of a constrained code. Several constrained codes for channels subject to constraints of (d,infinity) have been investigated theoretically and computationally. The baseline codes chosen for purposes of comparison were simple PPM codes characterized by M-slot PPM frames separated by d-slot dead times.

Synthesis of nanodiamonds encapsulated by zeolitic imidazole framework-8 for quantum sensing applications

Nitrogen vacancy (NV)-containing nanodiamonds are widely used in quantum sensing applications due to their high sensitivity to magnetic fields, relatively low cost, and ability to be initialized, manipulated, and read out at room temperature. Quantum sensing techniques such as optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) and spin relaxometry have exploited the sensitivity of the NV nanodiamonds to magnetic fields to detect a range of analytes, such as pH, metal ions, and biomolecules. However, diversifying the sensing targets accessible by NV diamond quantum sensors typically requires careful engineering of the diamond surface chemistry with stimuli-responsive functional groups. Here, a simple protocol for coating NV nanodiamonds with the zeolitic imidazole framework 8 (ZIF-8), a widely used metal-organic framework, is presented. ZIF-8 is a highly porous material that has been used as a selective sensor for gasses, metal ions, and other analytes. The material is well-characterized by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and luminescence spectroscopy. Encapsulation of NV nanodiamonds with a porous scaffold such as ZIF-8 provides a promising method for improving the selectivity for the quantum sensing of various analytes. Importantly, the ZIF-8 coating does not impact the luminescence properties of the NV diamond, which is a key readout in ODMR and spin relaxometry sensing approaches. Indeed, the ODMR spectra with and without the ZIF-8 shell is nearly identical. Moreover, the ZIF-8 coating increases the longitudinal spin relaxation time of the NV nanodiamond by a factor of 4 relative to aggregated diamond, a desirable outcome for spin relaxation-based quantum sensing. Metal-organic framework composites with nanodiamonds thus are an exciting strategy for enhancing NV nanodiamond performance in applications such as quantum sensing and quantum-enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
