The next generation of cryogenic CMB and submillimeter cameras under development require densely instrumented sensor arrays to meet their science goals. The readout of large numbers (~10,000-100,000 per camera) of sub-Kelvin sensors, for instance as proposed for the CMB-S4 experiment, will require substantial improvements in cold and warm readout techniques. To reduce the readout cost per sensor and integration complexity, efforts are presently focused on achieving higher multiplexing density while maintaining readout noise subdominant to intrinsic detector noise and presenting manageable thermal loads. Highly-multiplexed cold readout technologies in active development include Microwave Kinetic Inductance Sensors (MKIDs) and microwave rf-SQUIDs. Both exploit the high quality factors of superconducting microwave resonators to densely channelize sub-Kelvin sensors into the bandwidth of a microwave transmission line. In the case of microwave SQUID multiplexing, arrays of transition-edge sensors (TES) are multiplexed by coupling each TES to its own superconducting microwave resonator through an rf-SQUID. We present advancements in the development of a new warm readout system for microwave SQUID multiplexing, the SLAC Superconducting Microresonator RF electronics, or SMuRF, by adapting SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) FPGA Common Platform. SMuRF aims to read out 4000 microwave SQUID channels between 4 and 8 GHz per RF line. Each compact SMuRF system is built onto a single ATCA carrier blade. Daughter boards on the blade implement RF frequency-division multiplexing using FPGAs, fast DACs and ADCs, and an analog up- and down-conversion chain. The system reads out changes in flux in each resonator-coupled rf-SQUID by monitoring the change in the transmitted amplitude and frequency of RF tones produced at each resonator's fundamental frequency. The SMuRF system is unique in its ability to track each tone, minimizing the total RF power required to readout each resonator, thereby significantly reducing the linearity requirements on the cold and warm readout. Here, we present measurements of the readout noise and linearity of the first full SMuRF system, including a demonstration of closed-loop tone tracking on a 528 channel cryogenic microwave SQUID multiplexer. SMuRF is being explored as a potential readout solution for a number of future CMB projects including Simons Observatory, BICEP Array, CCAT-prime, Ali-CPT, and CMB-S4. In addition, parallel development of the platform is underway to adapt SMuRF to read out both MKID and fast X-ray TES calorimeter arrays.

Read Abstract +

To enable the next-generation of bolometric cameras, we are developing the microwave SQUID multiplexer (μMUX). Upcoming receivers such as Simons Observatory, CCAT-prime, BICEP array, Ali-CPT, and CMB-S4 plan to instrument focal planes with 50,000-500,000 sensors. Sensor count is achieved by tiling many 150 mm-diameter densely packed detector arrays into these focal planes. The fabrication and quality of large-format bolometer arrays has been demonstrated and is now mature. In contrast, the readout technology required for next-generation receivers needs development. The sensitivity, low cross-talk, high multiplexing density, and small component size make the μMUX well-suited for this goal. In this approach, the TES signal modulates the inductance of an rf-SQUID that loads a high-Q microwave resonator. The coupled signal therefore modulates the microwave resonance frequency, which may be read out using homodyne techniques. By coupling each resonator to the same microwave feedline, many detectors can be read out on a single coaxial cable pair. The multiplexing density is in practice limited by signal bandwidth, allowable cross-talk, and the digitization bandwidth of room-temperature readout electronics. We present the design and performance of a scalable 64-channel multiplexer chip optimized for bolometric applications. We utilize a new quarter wave resonator design that increases the physical linear density by a factor of two, therefore achieving a smaller footprint for simplified detector packaging. Measurements of this design show 100 kHz resonator bandwidth, uniform 1.8 MHz frequency spacing, and an input referred current noise of 35 pA/√Hz that is well below the level of an optimized, background-limited TES bolometer. Using 8 daisy-chained and frequency scaled chips, we create a 512-channel multiplexer and use it to readout a 512 TES-bolometer array. We present the results of this large-scale μMUX demonstration including system yield, signal cross-talk, and an analysis of noise in various TES bias configurations. The result demonstrates the multiplexing density required to read out 2,000 sensors between 4-8 GHz.

The search for inflationary primordial gravitational waves and the measurement of the optical depth to reionization, both through their imprint on the large angular scale correlations in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), has created the need for high sensitivity measurements of polarization across large fractions of the sky at millimeter wavelengths. These measurements are subject to instrumental and atmospheric 1=f noise, which has motivated the development of polarization modulators to facilitate the rejection of these large systematic effects.

Variable-delay polarization modulators (VPMs) are used in the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) telescopes as the first element in the optical chain to rapidly modulate the incoming polarization. VPMs consist of a linearly polarizing wire grid in front of a movable flat mirror. Varying the distance between the grid and the mirror produces a changing phase shift between polarization states parallel and perpendicular to the grid which modulates Stokes U (linear polarization at 45°) and Stokes V (circular polarization). The CLASS telescopes have VPMs as the first optical element from the sky; this simultaneously allows a lock-in style polarization measurement and the separation of sky polarization from any instrumental polarization further along in the optical path.

The CLASS VPM wire grids use 50 μm copper-plated tungsten wire with a 160μm spacing across a 60 cm clear aperture. The mirror is mounted on a flexure system with one degree of translational freedom, enabling the required mirror motion while maintaining excellent parallelism with respect to the wire grid. The wire grids and mirrors are held parallel to each other to better than 80 μm, and the wire grids have RMS flatness errors below 50 μm across the 60 cm aperture. The Q-band CLASS VPM was the first VPM to begin observing the CMB full time, starting in the Spring of 2016. The first W-band CLASS VPM was installed in the Spring of 2018.

We describe the Short Wavelength Camera (SWCam) for the CCAT observatory including the primary science drivers, the coupling of the science drivers to the instrument requirements, the resulting implementation of the design, and its performance expectations at first light. CCAT is a 25 m submillimeter telescope planned to operate at 5600 meters, near the summit of Cerro Chajnantor in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. CCAT is designed to give a total wave front error of 12.5 μm rms, so that combined with its high and exceptionally dry site, the facility will provide unsurpassed point source sensitivity deep into the short submillimeter bands to wavelengths as short as the 200 μm telluric window. The SWCam system consists of 7 sub-cameras that address 4 different telluric windows: 4 subcameras at 350 μm, 1 at 450 μm, 1 at 850 μm, and 1 at 2 mm wavelength. Each sub-camera has a 6’ diameter field of view, so that the total instantaneous field of view for SWCam is equivalent to a 16’ diameter circle. Each focal plane is populated with near unit filling factor arrays of Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors (LEKIDs) with pixels scaled to subtend an solid angle of (λ/D)2 on the sky. The total pixel count is 57,160. We expect background limited performance at each wavelength, and to be able to map < 35(°)2 of sky to 5 σ on the confusion noise at each wavelength per year with this first light instrument. Our primary science goal is to resolve the Cosmic Far-IR Background (CIRB) in our four colors so that we may explore the star and galaxy formation history of the Universe extending to within 500 million years of the Big Bang. CCAT's large and high-accuracy aperture, its fast slewing speed, use of instruments with large format arrays, and being located at a superb site enables mapping speeds of up to three orders of magnitude larger than contemporary or near future facilities and makes it uniquely sensitive, especially in the short submm bands.
