Characterising the SCUBA-2 superconducting bolometer arrays
Characterising the SCUBA-2 superconducting bolometer arrays is a scholarly work by Peter A. R. Ade, Lorenzo Moncelsi, Kent Irwin, Gene C. Hilton, Matthew Hasselfield, Michael D. Niemack, Mandana Amiri, Carl D. Reintsema, Bryce Burger, Wayne S Holland, Camelia C. Dunare, Michael J. MacIntosh, Matthew I. Hollister, Adam L. Woodcraft, Dan Bintley, and Craig Walther, published in 2010 in ''Proceedings of SPIE''. The main subjects of the publication include telescope, optics, multiplexing, wavelength, bolometer, physics, radio astronomy, electronic amplifier, optoelectronics, James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, transition edge sensor, Teuthida, Large Format, superconductivity, terahertz radiation, and high temperature superconductor. The authors present the results of characterising individual 1280 bolometer science grade sub-arrays, both in a dedicated 50mk dilution refrigerator test facility and in the instrument installed at the JCMT.
