We are developing multi-chroic antenna-coupled TES detectors for CMB polarimetry. Multi-chroic detectors in- crease the mapping speed per focal plane area and provide greater discrimination of polarized galactic foregrounds with no increase in weight or cryogenic cost. In each pixel, a silicon lens-coupled dual polarized sinuous antenna collects light over a two-octave frequency band. The antenna couples the broadband millimeter wave signal into microstrip transmission lines, and on-chip filter… Expand

Cryogenic infrared filter made of alumina for use at millimeter wavelength.
It is concluded that the temperature increase at the center of the alumina IR filter is less than 6 K, even with a large diameter of 500 mm, when the temperature at the edge of the filter is 50 K, suitable for an application to a large-throughput next-generation cosmic-microwave-background polarization experiment such as POLARBEAR-2.
