MKID WFS: coupling optical bench to cryostat

19 June 2024 • 17:30 - 19:00 Japan Standard Time | Room G5, North - 1F

Abstract

Reporting on the measurement and mitigation of vibrations of a cryostat-mounted detector relative to an optical table mounted experiment. Pulse-tube precoolers of multi stage dilution refrigerators impart small vibrations into the structure onto which the device is mounted. Issues arise if these movements exceed the pixel pitch of the detectors (100-200µm).
