An Integrated 370 micron Superheterodyne Imaging Array

AST-0138318Walker，Chris 混合器、器件制造、微加工、数字信号处理以及望远镜设计和工程领域的先进技术将被创新地集成，以创建第一个集成亚毫米外差阵列。这些阵列将在高效的微机械波导安装座中采用最新的 Nb 和 Nb-AU 扩散冷却热电子测辐射热计 (HEB)。这些阵列将首先在亚利桑那大学运营的 10 米海因里希赫兹望远镜 (HHT) 中使用。这项工作将在亚利桑那大学斯图尔德天文台进行，博士后、研究生和本科生将参与其中。 ***

AST-0138318Walker, ChrisAdvanced technology in the areas of mixers, device fabrication, micro machining, digital signal processing, and telescope design and engineering will be innovatively integrated to create the first integrated submillimeter heterodyne arrays. These arrays will utilize the latest Nb and Nb-AU diffusion cooled hot electron bolometers (HEB) in an efficient micromachined waveguide mount. These arrays will be used first at the 10-meter Heinrich Hertz Telescope (HHT) operated by the University of Arizona. This work will take place at the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory where post doctoral and graduate and undergraduate students will participate. ***
