Abstract: The reflectivity of metallic mirrors in the millimeter wave region does not only depend on the material, but also on the structure and roughness of the surface. We have performed measurements of the reflectivity of various plane and grooved metallic and graphite samples at 140 GHz. The technique is based on the comparison of the quality factor of a 2-mirror reference resonator with the quality factor of a 3-mirror resonator which has identical dimensions and includes the mirror to be tested. After a brief presentation of the theory, the set-up is described and the reflection loss for various aluminium and copper mirrors as well as vacuum compatible materials for applications in thermonuclear fusion experiments are presented and discussed.

Abstract: Reflectivity (reflection loss) investigations of nickel samples with different types of surface finish, with and without rhodium coating, have been carried out in the 110-200 GHz frequency range on an installation developed in the Applied Physics Institute of Russia. The reflectivity measurements of high quality silver coated and gold coated mirrors are also presented. The reflectivity (reflection loss) investigations of some carbon fibre samples with and without aluminium coating have been made. Results are interesting, in view of the anisotropy of the carbon fibre material.

Abstract: It is imperative to test the mechanical, electrical and thermal-optical properties of MM and sub-MM reflector antennas. Electrical, thermal and optical properties are very important and high-accurate measurements lead, obviously, to more accurate results in applications. This paper deals with measurement of electrical reflectivity in the range 110-200 GHz. Reflectivity has been measured for a number of samples, which represent materials used in reflector antennas. Both metal samples and carbon-fibre samples were tested in a dedicated facility available for this purpose at the Applied Physics Institute in Nizhny Novgorod (IAP). The test facility is shortly discussed, with techniques for data extraction. Calibration is done with high quality silver coated mirrors and aluminium control samples. Accurate results have been derived with indicative interesting results.

Abstract: Recently, a next-generation heterodyne mixer detector – a hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixer employing a superconducting microbridge – has gradually opened up terahertz-band astronomy. The surrounding state-of-the-art technologies including fabrication processes, 4 K cryostats, cryogenic low-noise amplifiers, local oscillator sources, micromachining techniques, and spectrometers, as well as the HEB mixers, have played a valuable role in the development of super-low-noise heterodyne spectroscopy systems for the terahertz band. The current developmental status of terahertz-band HEB mixer receivers and their applications for spectroscopy and astronomy with ground-based, airborne, and satellite telescopes are presented.
