- This is a $566,418.88 grant awarded by NASA to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to investigate and demonstrate a new low Technology Readiness Level (TRL) concept called "Phonon Recycling" for Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs). The goal is to develop detector arrays suitable for a Far Infrared (FIR) space mission by improving the sensitivity, yield, uniformity, and multiplexing density of KIDs without requiring very low operating temperatures. Caltech has previously...
- The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) was awarded a $1.45 million grant by a civilian federal agency for research on ultrasensitive far-infrared kinetic inductance detector arrays for space applications. The contract, designated 22-SAT22-0029, is structured as a research grant with an ultimate completion date of March 13, 2026, and was awarded on March 14, 2024. The work will be performed at Caltech's Pasadena, California campus. This award does not include any small business...
- This federal contract award, valued at $1,072,144.70, was granted to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support research and development of low-loss dielectric thin films for use in advanced superconducting sensors and detector technologies. These technologies are critical for future space-based missions like the Inflation Probe and Origins Space Telescope, which require highly sensitive millimeter-wave and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $876,372.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on "LOW-LOSS, LOW-NOISE AMORPHOUS SILICON DIELECTRIC FOR KINETIC INDUCTANCE DETECTOR CAPACITORS AND SUPERCONDUCTING MICROSTRIPLINE". The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, is a grant for research with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2026. Caltech, a private research...
- This is a $838,643 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (SSC), a civilian U.S. government agency, to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop a new type of detector called the Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detector (TKID) for astrophysics applications. The TKID is an advanced version of a Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) that improves on key characteristics like energy resolution, pulse decay time, and material requirements. The grant supports efforts to...
- This is a $685,234.16 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on March 1, 2018. The grant is focused on developing and optimizing a new type of superconducting X-ray detector known as a Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detector (TKID). The objective is to improve the energy resolution of these detectors to below 5 eV at 6 keV and integrate them into a 1,000 pixel array. The research also aims to...
- This is a $309,261 training grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) on August 1, 2018. The contract, which has a completion date of January 31, 2023, is for Caltech to develop a new type of hard X-ray detector with improved energy resolution to map the spatial and velocity distributions of titanium within observable supernova remnants. This will help test and improve supernova models. The detector will use...
