  Abstract We present new Hot-Electron-Bolometer (HEB) mixers designed for mid-IR spectroscopy targeting astrophysical and geophysical observations where high sensitivity and spectral resolution are required. The mixers are made of an ultrathin NbN film deposited on GaAs substrates. Two entirely different types of the devices have been fabricated. The first type is based on a direct radiation coupling concept and the mixing devices are shaped as squares of 5×5 μm 2 (which corresponds to the diffraction limit at the chosen wavelength) and 10×10 μm 2 (which was used to establish a possible influence of the contact pads on the radiation absorption). The second type utilizes a spiral antenna designed with HFSS. The fabrication and layout of the devices as well as the performance comparison will be presented. During the experiments, the HEB mixer was installed on the cold plate of a LHe cryostat. A germanium window and an extended semi-spherical germanium lens are used to couple the radiation. The cryostat is equipped with a germanium optical filter of thickness 0.5 mm and with a center wavelength of 10.6 mμ. The incident power absorption is measured by using the isothermal method. As a Local Oscillator, a 10.6 micrometers line of a CO2 gas laser is used. We further characterize the frequency response of the spiral antenna with a FIR-spectrometer. The noise characteristics of the mixers are determined from a room temperature cold load and a heated black body at ~600 K as a hot load.

  Title Millimetron Space Observatory: progress in the development of payload module Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proc. 30th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. Abbreviated Journal Proc. 30th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol.

  Keywords (up) Millimetron space observatory, primary mirror  
  Abstract Millimetron Space Observatory (MSO) is mission addressed to creation a space cryogenic telescope with aperture about 10-m [1]. Such telescope will allow scientific community to have an astronomical instrument with enormous sensitivity and angular resolution in the submillimeter and far-infrared wavelength ranges. We plan to install at the telescope several FIR and sub-millimeter scientific instruments, which will enable high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy observations with unprecedented sensitivity. At the same time, MSO will enable observations with an extremely high angular resolution (up to 0.1×10 -6 arcsec) as an element of a ground-space very long baseline interferometry system (S-VLBI). Thereby the observatory will contribute breakthrough capability into solution a number of cosmology and fundamental astrophysics questions about the origin and evolution of our Universe, galaxies, stars and other objects [2]. The MSO is divided into two parts: the payload module and the bus module. Due to the complexity of the payload module, most of the recent years of work are focused on it. This module includes an antenna of the telescope, scientific receivers, functional and service systems and a high-gain radio system for transmitting scientific data to Earth. The primary mirror of the telescope will be deployable and consist from of a 3-m aperture central part surrounded by 24 deployable petals. The concept of petals deployment is based on the successfully launched and currently working Radioastron project [3]. The surface accuracy of the deployable 10-m primary mirror of Radioastron achieves about 1 mm in space conditions. The telescope of MSO would have much better surface accuracy – less than 10 μm (rms). In order to achieve this we plan to use an active surface control system based on a wave front sensing. This system will be periodically employed to correct inaccuracies in the positions of the panels caused by different factors. A combination of a high modulus carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) and a cyanate ester resin as a binder provides a lightweight structure with low moisture absorption, high thermal stability and high stiffness. This combination has been chosen for the material of the primary mirror of telescope and many parts of it. The panels are mounted on the back support structure (Fig. 1) made from CFRP via precision cryogenic actuators. To achieve the required sensitivity of the telescope in the submm/FIR we need to cool antenna down to the temperature less than 10K (goal). It may be possible to do this on-orbit only by a combination of effective radiation cooling and additional active mechanical cooling. A cold space antenna requires minimization and stability of external thermal radiation. This is one of the reasons why MSO will be placed into orbit around the second Earth-Sun Lagrange point (L2). The MSO antenna into L2 will be cooled passively to a temperature about 30 – 60K by a suite of the deployable multi-layer V-groove shields. The following steps to reduce the temperature of the antenna are based on active reducing the thermal loads applied to it. Active mechanical cooling is based on existing close cycling space mechanical coolers. In this work, we will focus on the progress in the development of payload module.

  Title Instrumentation for Millimetron – a large space antenna for THz astronomy Type Conference Article
  Year 2008 Publication Proc. 19th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. Abbreviated Journal Proc. 19th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol.  
  Volume Issue Pages 186-191  
  Keywords (up) Millimetron space observatory, VLBI  
  Abstract Millimetron is a Russian-led 12m diameter submillimeter and far-infrared space observatory which is included in the Space Plan of the Russian Federation and funded for launch after 2015. With its large collecting area and state-of-the-art receivers, it will enable unique science and allow at least one order of magnitude improvement with respect to the Herschel Space Observatory. Millimetron is currently in a conceptual design phase carried out by the Astro Space Center in Moscow and SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research. It will use a passively cooled deployable antenna with a high-precision central 3.5m diameter mirror and high- precision antenna petals. The antenna is specified for observations up to ~2 THz over the whole 12m diameter, and to higher frequencies using the central 3.5m solid mirror. Millimetron will be operated in two basic observing modes: as a single-dish observatory, and as an element of a ground-space VLBI system. As single-dish, angular resolutions on the order of 3 to 12 arcsec will be achieved and spectral resolutions of up to 10 6 employing heterodyne techniques. As VLBI antenna, the chosen elliptical orbit will provide extremely large VLBI baselines resulting in micro-arcsec angular resolution. The scientific payload will consist of heterodyne and direct detection instruments covering the most important sub-/millimeter spectral regions (including some ALMA bands) and will build on the Herschel and ALMA heritage.

  Title The “Millimetron” project, a future space telescope mission Type Abstract
  Year 2007 Publication Proc. 18th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. Abbreviated Journal Proc. 18th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol.  
  Volume Issue Pages 255  
  Keywords (up) Millimetron space observatory, VLBI  
  Abstract The goal of the Millimetron project is to develop a space observatory operating in the millimeter, sub-millimeter and infrared wavelength ranges using a 12-m actively cooled telescope in a single-dish mode and as an interferometer with the space-ground and space-space baselines (the later after the launch of the second identical space telescope). The Millimetron’s main reflector and other optics will be cooled down to 4K thus enabling astronomical observations with super high sensitivity in MM and subMM (down to nanoJansky level). Heterodyne observations in an interferometer mode at frequencies 0.1-1 THz will provide super high angular resolution. The main instruments, planned to be installed are wide-range imaging arrays, radiometers with spectrometers and polarimeters, VLBI heterodyne receivers, and Mikelson type interferometer devices. Wide-range MM and subMM imaging arrays and spectrometers will be based on a superconducting hot electron direct detectors with Andreev mirrors operating at 0.1 K. Such detectors are the best candidates to reach the noise equivalent power level of 10 -19 -10 -20 W/√Hz. Heterodyne receivers will be both SIS based superconducting integrated receiver with flux-flow oscillator as LO (0.1-0.9 THz range) and HEB based receivers using multiplied Gunn oscillator as LO for 1-2 THz range and quantum cascade lasers as LO for 2-5 THz range. For observations in middle IR region there will be installed large arrays of superconducting single photon detectors, providing imaging with very high dynamic range and ultimate sensitivity.
