Optical Efficiency and R(T,I) Measurements of ACTPol TESes Using Time Domain Multiplexing Electronics

We present new data on feedhorn-coupled transition-edge sensor devices fabricated for the second-generation receiver (ACTPol) for the Atacama cosmology telescope (ACT). First, we describe optical efficiency measurements of the latest ACTPol detector wafer, which has a 86±15% average optical efficiency. Next, we discuss measurements of the TES resistance as a function of temperature and bias current ( R(T,I) ) using the ACTPol time-domain multiplexing electronics. Qualitative agreement between R(T,I) data at low bias current and the two-fluid model prediction is shown. Using the two-fluid model and low bias current R(T,I) data, α and β at our operating bias current are calculated.

InP-Based Ridge Waveguide Lasers for Wavelength Division Multiplexing Applications

Wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems place stringent requirements on the absolute wavelength and wavelength spacing of the elements in laser arrays. Ridge waveguides (RW) show excellent potential for practical implementation due to their simple fabrication with relaxed fabrication tolerances, high reliability and good performancce. An analysis of the fabrication tolerances for RW and buried heterostructure (BH) devices is performed, showing the advantages offered by the ridge design.

Large-Scale Magnetic Microcalorimeter: Modeling and Multiplexing

We will present performance predictions for a large-scale magnetic microcalorimeter detector array intended for a potential future X-ray astrophysics mission. The focal plane comprises three distinct array designs, necessitating over 100,000 pixels to meet the scientific objectives. Our presentation will describe the results of numerical modeling aimed at estimating the energy resolution and detector responses for each array. Additionally, we will discuss the application of microwave multiplexing technology for the comprehensive readout of the entire sensor array.

Microphone multiplex system provides multiple outlets from single source

Microphone multiplex system accepts an audio signal from a single source and provides any number of low impedance outputs at microphone level with complete isolation between output channels. Any input or output may be converted to high impedance by eliminating the associated transformer.
