Leaky Lens Based UWB Focal Plane Arrays for Sub-mm Wave Imaging Based on Kinetic Inductance Detectors
conference paper
This work highlights some of the results of a
cooperation between TNO and SRON (Space Research
Organization Netherlands) which is now going on with renewed
efforts since almost two years. A novel strategy for broad band
focal plane array design is proposed. Its purpose is to couple the
radiation from a Large F/D reflector system to an array of
Kinetic Inductance detectors that are being investigated at
SRON to be used in Space science missions such as SPICA [1].
To maximize the benefits from using their BW properties one
idea is to use Leaky Lens based array elements, as imaging
pixels, however other possibilities are also envisaged.
