Key Features of CLOVER


Two telescopes measuring polarization of CMB:
LF: 97 GHz
HF: combined 150 and 220 GHz focal plane

Detectors: Bolometers with superconducting transition edge sensors (TES)


Sensitivity:

limited by unavoidable photon noise (2.2x10 -17 W/Hz)

Operating Temperature:

100 mK (active control of bath temperature)

Focal Plane: hexagonal array of horns, two polarizations per horn


LF: 96 horns => 192 finline-coupled detectors at 97 GHz
HF: 192 horns => 192 4-probe OMTs in mixed 150/220 GHz focal plane

Readout: Time-division SQUID multiplexer (NIST, UBC)

Why Microstrip-coupled TESs?


CLOVER needs high-performance polarimetry
Flexibility: RF absorption is separated from the bolometer
TES design can be optimised separately and doesnt have to change
if the array architecture changes

Calibration

Can include planar band-pass filters, phase shifters, modulators etc.


=> simple detector becomes multi-function integrated circuit

ClOVER TES Detector Designs


Finline-coupled detector, uses a
rectangular-waveguide to finline to
superconducting microstrip transition.

Polarization-sensitive detector, which


uses probes suspended on a SiNx
membrane in a circular waveguide.
