Introduction to TES Bolometer System overview (Preliminary) results of the commissioning run on ASTE
What is a Bolometer? Low temperature thermal detector Typically T < 1K Measures input power as temperature rise 1. Power input to absorber 2. Temperature rise measured by thermometer 3. Readout as electrical signal Thermometer types Semiconductor (e.g. AzTEC) Transition edge Sensor (TES) radiation thermometer absorber thermal link G C, T T stage
TES Transition Edge Sensor(TES) Utilize rapid resistance change in superconducting-normal state transition Advantage High sensitivity Multiplexable using Saturation low noise SQUID readout large power input drives TES normal lose sensitivity Careful design of saturation power + Electro-thermal feedback Operation under Electro Thermal Feedback Voltage bias 1. Increase in Power (P) 2. Temperature rise (T) 3. Increase in Resistance (R) 4. Decrease in bias Power (Pbias= V 2 /R )

Bolometer array 90% yield No. of bolometers > No. of readout channel just pick out good bolometers to read out SQUIDs 52/56 = 93% Inductor ( Frequency comb) 298/416 = 72% update to higher yield fab process Total 270GHz band: 128/192 = 67% 350GHz band: 170/256 = 66%
Unstable sky condition latch large decrease in the optical loading TESs fall into superconducting state and lose sensitivity == latch Recovery from latch Self heating of TES by large bias is not available (zero resistance) Warm up the focal plane and retune bolometers 3hrs due to large thermal mass of focal planes not observer friendly Workaround 1. implement a heater close to the TES additional wirings 2. Add offset resistance to the TES easiest 3. Increase the saturation power not hard update the bolometer array (Design already finished)
Summary Overview of the multicolor TES Bolometer camera development for ASTE Successful imaging of Galactic source However, there are some issues to be solved Noise: reduction of 1Hz and harmonics Beam map: improve the optimiziation process of subreflector parameter to reduce defocusing Low yield: update inductor Latch: update bolometer array
