Abstract

We have obtained NASA funding to build and demonstrate Transition Edge Sensor (TES) based kilopixel arrays with the properties that match the requirements for cryogenic far-infrared space missions: the arrays are very closely tileable in one direction and have only a moderate gap in the other direction. This array architecture can meet the sampling- and pixel number requirement of ~ 104 pixels. Many details of the architecture have already been demonstrated individually, and the detector board will be optimized for the use of the latest cryogenic bump bonded NIST 2-D time domain SQUID readout multiplexers with a high density fanout scheme. Additionally, we use flex-lines that are very similar to those developed at Princeton University for the ACT project. We already have a pixel design that exceeds the continuum sensitivity requirements for a cryogenic space mission.
