(author), Yurduseven, O. (author), Endo, A. (author)We are developing an ultra-wideband spectroscopic instrument, DESHIMA (DEep Spectroscopic HIgh-redshift MApper), based on the technologies of an on-chip filter bank and microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) to investigate dusty starburst galaxies in the distant universe at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. An on-site experiment of...journal article 2020

(author), Llombart, Nuria (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author)Terahertz spectrometers with a wide instantaneous frequency coverage for passive remote sensing are enormously attractive for many terahertz applications, such as astronomy, atmospheric science, and security. Here we demonstrate a wide-band terahertz spectrometer based on a single superconducting chip. The chip consists of an antenna coupled...journal article 2019

(author)Ultra-wideband, three-dimensional (3D) imaging spectrometry in the millimeter–submillimeter (mm–submm) band is an essential tool for uncovering the dust-enshrouded portion of the cosmic history of star formation and galaxy evolution<sup>1–3</sup>. However, it is challenging to scale up conventional coherent heterodyne receivers<sup>4</sup> or...journal article 2019

(author), Baryshev, AM (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author)Next generation sub-mm imaging instruments require kilo-pixel focal plane arrays filled with background limited detectors. Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) are a state-of-the-art detector for future instruments due to their inherent multiplexing capabilities. An MKID consists of a superconducting resonator coupled to a feed-line...journal article 2018

Yurduseven, O. (author), Bueno Lopez, J. (author), Yates, Stephen (author), Neto, A. (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author)There is an increasing demand for large format detector arrays with large bandwidths and high antenna efficiencies for future THz astronomical radiometric applications. For direct detection instruments, it is also desired to have antennas with dual polarization reception in order to increase the received power from incoherent sources, thereby...journal article 2018

van Berkel, S.L. (author), Yurduseven, O. (author), Freni, Angelo (author), Neto, A. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author)In millimeter and submillimeter-wave radiometric imaging systems, a persistent goal is the increase in the speed of acquisition of the image while maintaining a high sensitivity. Typically, the highest sensitivity is achieved by cryogenically cooling the detectors, specifically in astronomical applications. However, for the purpose of low...journal article 2017

(author), Martin-Pintado, J. (author), Hargrave, P. (author), Griffin, M. (author)Aims. Future astrophysics and cosmic microwave background space missions operating in the far-infrared to millimetre part of the spectrum will require very large arrays of ultra-sensitive detectors in combination with high multiplexing factors and efficient low-noise and low-power readout systems. We have developed a demonstrator system suitable...journal article 2017

Yurduseven, O. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author), Neto, A. (author)This paper presents the design and measurements of a wideband dual polarized leaky lens antenna suitable for tightly spaced focal plane arrays. The antenna is composed of two crossed leaky slots fed by two orthogonal microstrips to realize the dual-polarization operation. The crossed microstrips are fed differentially in order to couple the...journal article 2016
