Wang, Qian (author), Audley, Michael D. (author), Khosropanah, Pourya (author), van der Kuur, Jan (author), de Lange, Gert (author), Aminaei, Amin (author), Boersma, Dick (author), van der Tak, Floris (author), Gao, J.R. (author)The SPICA-SAFARI instrument requires extremely sensitive transition edge sensor (TES) arrays with a noise equivalent power of 2×10-19W/Hz and a readout system with an output noise that is dominated by the detector noise. It is essential to ensure the frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) readout system in SAFARI meets the noise requirement. The...journal article 2020

Development of a Ti/Au TES Microcalorimeter Array as a Backup Sensor for the Athena/X-IFU InstrumentNagayoshi, K. (author), Ridder, M. L. (author), Bruijn, M. P. (author), Gottardi, L. (author), Taralli, E. (author), Khosropanah, P. (author), Akamatsu, H. (author), Visser, S. (author), Gao, J.R. (author)We are developing a transition edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeter array based on a Ti/Au superconducting bilayer, as a backup option for the X-IFU instrument on the Athena X-ray observatory. The array is read out by a frequency-division multiplexing readout system using a 1–5 MHz frequency band. Extensive research collaborations between NASA...journal article 2019

(author), Jackson, B. D. (author)SRON is developing ultra-low noise Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) based on a superconducting Ti/Au bilayer on a suspended SiN island with SiN legs for the SAFARI instrument aboard the SPICA mission. We successfully fabricated TESs with very narrow (0.5-0.7 μm) and thin (0.25 μm) SiN legs on different sizes of SiN islands using deep...conference paper 2016
