Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detectors Camera: System Level Design, Strategy and Performance Forecast
Abstract
The next-generation instruments for millimeter-wave astronomy will require large arrays of detectors to surpass current performance [see (Hui, 2016) and (Ade, 2018)]. On account of integration challenges, focal planes relying on transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers will not scale gracefully. Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detectors (TKIDs) are highly scalable and have the design flexibility to solve this problem. We present an update on our detector development and systems engineering in preparation for a 2022 TKIDs camera deployment that includes noise performance, optical characterization, and a calibration strategy.
