MAKO is a 350 micron KID based camera designed to be a drop-in replacement to SHARC-II • Goal: Demonstrate a scalable 350 micron pathfinder instrument using KIDs for large FOV ground-based telescopes • Array should be: • Photon-noise limited • Simple to fabricate • Low per-pixel cost • Highly multiplexed
Can we be photon-noise limited? J Zmuidzinas, “Superconducting Microresonators: Physics and Applications,” Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 3 (March 2012). Noise Source Photon Amplifier GR TLS Knobs:Pa,b ->STLS(T,C,Pa)
Can we be photon-noise limited? Increase Pa Lk(I) = Lk (0) [1 + I2/I*2 + …]
Noroozian et al. Submitted for publication. ILLUMINATE WITH 5 pW OF 215 mm RADIATION
Under 5 pW of loading… Theory Measured
Can we be photon-noise limited? Increase Pa Deep in bifurcation regime: NEP ~ 2 x 10-16 about 3x above photon noise However, requires complicated readout and doesn’t address cost and multiplexing issues…
Can we be photon-noise limited? Noise Source Photon Amplifier GR TLS Knobs:Pa,b ->STLS(T,C,Pa) • a 1/sinh(hw/2kT) ~ 2kT/hw • MAKO: decrease w using Lk of TiNand big C, • keep Pa below bifurcation
Can we be photon-noise limited? We think so. See Chris McKenney’s presentation
Goal: Demonstrate a scalable 350 micron pathfinder instrument using KIDs for large FOV ground-based telescopes • Array should be: • Photon-noise limited …. (see Chris’ talk) • Simple to fabricate • Direct absorption LEKID (see Chris’ talk) • Maximum 3 layers lithography • Low per-pixel cost • Highly multiplexed
Why focus on cost and simplicity? http://ccatobservatory.org/ Steve Padin: “CCAT optical design for 1° FOV” fl/2 at 350 mm: 6 Million w/ corrector plate 1° FOV 1 Million w/o corrector plate ~ 30’ FOV Soft goal: ~ $1 per pixel including everything. In particular, electronics cost dominates. DENSE MULTIPLEXING REQUIRED
Multiplexing density limited by per-resonator bandwidth. Constant power astronomy Minimum per-pixel bandwidth: Df ~200 Hz set by telescope scan speed Min f0 if we can achieve a Q = 105 : 20 MHz
MAKO 1 Octave Nmux 1k – 3k Q few x 105 per octave
MAKO: low frequency advantage • Improved NEPfreq (see Chris’ talk) • More octaves per fixed electronic bandwidth. ie 500 MHz ADC spans ½ octave in 1-2 GHz compared with more than 3 octaves below 500 MHz • Start designing array with the lowest frequencies first. • Low end set by BW needs and fabrication considerations. • High Lk material needed to get low frequencies (TiNetc) • Eliminate mixing stage and the need for IQ ADC/DAC pairs

Readout - GPU Can the GPU keep up? FFT Costs: 5Nln(N) FLoating-pointOPerations (FLOP) for N = 2^25, 3 GFLOP-per-fft Rate: (1e9 Samples-per-second/2^25 samples-per-fft)*3 GFLOP-per-fft = 89 GFLOPS or 60% of benchmarked rate. (m2090 has 25% greater max capacity, thus ~47% of GPU potential)
Readout – ADC Performance Texas Instruments ADS5463 500 MSPS, 12-bit A/D Does the ADC have enough dynamic range? Worst SNR ~ 65 dBFS PSD = (N/BW)/S = 1/[SNR*BW] = 1/[SNR*(fs/2)] Noise-to-carrier PSD (dB): -65-10log(250e6) = -148 dBc/Hz Compare with kTn/Pread where Tn is ~ 3.5 K and Pread is max before bifurcation, 4 K TiN: 10*log(1.38e-23*3.5/129e-15) = -94 dBc/Hz …. 54 dB cushion
