Adding interferometry for CMBPol
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interferometry offers an alternative to imaging of the CMB. Some systematic errors may be easier to control than in the imaging case. Adding interferometry is capable of correlating signals from a large number of antennas, more than is currently possible with traditional multiplying interferometers. Many of the technologies required for a space-based adding interferometer for CMB studies are the same as for imaging systems. We evaluate those critical components which are different from imagers.

The Millimeter-wave Bolometric Interferometer and the Einstein Polarization Interferometer for Cosmology: Systematics
The Millimeter-wave Bolometric Interferometer (MBI) is a prototype instrument developed in part as a pathfinder for a future space-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurement, the Einstein Polarization Interferometer for Cosmology (EPIC). MBI uses adding interferometry to measure CMB polarization; this is a distinctly different and possibly more advantageous approach than d...
متن کاملطراحی، ساخت و مشخصه یابی پله های فازی شیشه ای برای کاربرد در تداخل سنجی جابجایی فاز
In this paper, we report on the design and fabrication of a low-cost phase shifter for application in phase shifting interferometry. Phase shifting interferometry is a powerful method for surface characterization. It uses interference data recorded during a series of predetermined phase shifts to recover the induced phase by the object surface. These controlled phase shifts are typically perfor...
متن کاملMeasurement and comparison of the temperature-dependence of refractive index of water and Plexiglas phantoms by interferometry method for their use in optical calorimetry
In radiation calorimetry by using laser beams and interferometry setups, variations induced by dose absorption in phantom can be precisely measured. Dose absorption and the induced temperature change result in refractive index variation of the material. In order to be able to measure the low amount of absorbed dose in the phantom, temperature dependence of refractive index of the material must ...
متن کامل“ Virtual source ” methods for diffusive fields
The phrase virtual source refers to two different techniques in this dissertation. In the first half of the dissertation, it refers to interferometry and in the second half it uses the concept of the synthetic aperture technique. In interferometry, a receiver is converted to a “virtual source”. In the synthetic aperture technique, a large “virtual source” is constructed by adding small sources....
متن کاملPartial Distinguishability in Femtosecond Optical Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion
Quantum interference is observed using femtosecond parametric down-conversion in the absence of spectral filtering of the down-converted light. The well-known symmetric dip observed in cw polarization-interferometry experiments becomes less pronounced and substantially asymmetric under such pulsed excitation. We show that this asymmetry arises from the partial distinguishability of contribution...
