This article is focused on CMB detection at frequencies around the 150 GHz band of the electromagnetic spectrum, near the peak of the CMB 2.7K blackbody band of the EM spectrum.

As part of the requirements for these measurements, we introduce a design of the detection and read out chain and show its expected performance and potential implementation. The proposed system can read the desired number of detectors from an array in a modular way, which allows future expansions, and its frequency division multiplexing system improves the cooling capacity of the cryostat by minimizing the amount of active cryogenic electronics.

The bandwidth of the driving spectra is smaller than the mechanical resonant frequency, and thus we can describe the resulting physics using concepts familiar from regular cavity optomechanics in the resolved-sideband limit. With a blue-detuned noise driving, the noise-induced interaction leads to anti-damping of the mechanical oscillator, and a self-oscillation threshold at an average noise power that is comparable to that of a coherent driving tone. This process can be seen as noise-induced dynamical amplification of mechanical motion. However, when the noise bandwidth is reduced down to the order of the mechanical damping, we discover a large shift of the power threshold of self-oscillation. This is due to the oscillator adiabatically following the instantaneous noise profile. In addition to blue-detuned noise driving, we investigate narrowband driving consisting of two coherent drive tones nearby in frequency.
