摘要

本文对漏透镜-天线耦合微波动力学电感探测器（KIDs）在1.5太赫兹的偏振纯度进行了测量和模拟。从极化相位和振幅波束方向图测量中，我们发现1 f＃ $\lambda$空间采样的积分交叉极化比为-21.5 dB。测量结果与理论描述一致，理论描述是基于天线馈电的发射仿真和天线- kid系统的接收分析相结合的结果。中性密度滤波器将每个探测器的功率限制在500 fW左右，使这些测量能够在低背景下测量噪声等效功率为5-7 $\times 10^{-20}$ W $/\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$的探测器上进行。这些综合测量表明，这些探测器是大规模和高性能成像偏振仪器的优秀候选者。

Demonstration of Ultrasensitive KIDs for Future THz Space Borne Polarimeters

We present measurements and simulations of the polarization purity of leaky lens-antenna coupled microwave kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) at 1.5 THz. From polarized phase and amplitude beam pattern measurements we find the integrated cross-polarization ratio to be at –21.5 dB for 1 f#

$\lambda$

spatial sampling. The measurements agree well with the theoretical description which is based on a combination of in-transmission simulation of the antenna feed, and an in-reception analysis of the antenna-KID system. A neutral density filter limited the power per detector to around 500 fW, enabling these measurements to be taken on detectors that in a low background have a measured noise equivalent power of 5–7

$\times 10^{-20}$

$/\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$

. These combined measurements show that these detectors are excellent candidates for large scale and high-performance imaging polarimetric instruments.
