Abstract: Abstract 10.1002/mop.1184.abs We report on the successful use of niobium microbolometers coupled to microstrip dipole antennas for the detection of midinfrared radiation. Measurements of the detector response versus antenna length performed at the 10.6 μm wavelength allowed us to identify the first three current-wave resonances along the antenna arms. The detector response was also measured as a function of the radiation wavelength in the 911 μm spectral domain. Excellent agreement between the experimental results and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) predictions was obtained.

Abstract: A comparative study between theory and experiment is presented for transmission through lossy frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) on silicon in the 2 – 15 micrometer range. Important parameters controlling the resonance shape and location are identified: dipole length, spacing, impedance, and dielectric surroundings. Their separate influence is exhibited. The primary resonance mechanism of FSSs is the resonance of the individual metallic patches. There is no discernable resonance arising from a feed-coupled configuration. The real part of the element's impedance controls the minimum value of transmission, while scarcely affecting its location. Varying the imaginary part shifts the location of resonance, while only slightly changing the minimum value of transmission. With such fine-tuning, it is possible to make a good fit between theory and experiment near the dipole resonance on any sample. A fixed choice of impedance can provide a reasonable fit to all samples fabricated under the same conditions. The dielectric surroundings change the resonance wavelength of the FSS compared to its value in air. The presence of FSS on the substrate increases the absorptivity/emissivity of the surface in a resonant way. Such enhancement is shown for dipole and cross arrays at several wavelengths.

Abstract: A 500 MHz superconducting cavity will replace the current copper cavity and begin to operate in the beginning of the year 2003. A liquid helium cryogenic system provides the cavity at 4.5 K a cooling capacity of 255 W without LN2 pre-cooling and a liquefaction rate of 110 liter/hour with LN2 pre-cooling. A safety factor of 1.5 is used to estimate the heat load from the superconducting cavity and the heat loss from the transfer lines. With the LN2 pre-cooling, this cooling system provides a cooling capacity of up to 450 W to cool down the additional superconducting Landau cavity. The capacity of the system can be tuned using a frequency driver installed at the compressor station. The pressure fluctuations of the dewar and of the suction line are kept to the same stability requirement that of the cavity cryostat to minimize the influence in cavity operation. A shutdown period for maintenance of more than 8000 hours for the cryogenic system is expected without interfering with the continuous operation of the superconducting cavity.
