DESHIMA 2.0 is an ultra-wideband submillimeter spectrometer based on integrated superconducting microstrip filters and Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs). We have successfully demonstrated its ultra-wideband performance in the laboratory. The measured instantaneous frequency coverage with ~300 MKIDs is 225-415 GHz, with a mean filter Q of ~670. The broadband quasi-optical chain of the instrument is characterized by beam patterns across the whole frequency range that are obtained simultaneously by a novel phase-amplitude beam measurement technique. We plan to deploy the instrument on the ASTE telescope for a commissioning and science verification campaign in 2022-2023.
We present a concept of a millimeter wavefront sensor that allows real-time sensing of the surface of a groundbased millimeter/submillimeter telescope. It is becoming important for ground-based millimeter/submillimeter astronomy to make telescopes larger with keeping their surface accurate. To establish `millimetric adaptive optics (MAO)' that instantaneously corrects the wavefront degradation induced by deformation of telescope optics, our wavefront sensor based on radio interferometry measures changes in excess path lengths from characteristic positions on the primary mirror surface to the focal plane. This plays a fundamental role in planed 50-m class submillimeter telescopes such as LST and AtLAST.
