In collaboration with the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center on June 2, 2001, NIST successfully deployed a new type of superconducting detector at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory at the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The FIBRE instrument consists of a FabryPerot spectrometer with an 8 pixel detector array of superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) bobmeters. The array is read out using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) multiplexer. Both the bolometer array and the SQUID multiplexers were invented and fabricated at NIST. This technology is a revolutionary breakthrough for materials ...
