Abstract

Superconducting Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometer arrays with thousands of pixels are essential for achieving the science objectives of future cold far-infrared astronomical telescopes. The readout of such large format TES arrays represents a significant challenge for these missions in terms of power consumption and thermal loading on the coldest cryogenic stages of the instruments. The Time Domain Multiplexing (TDM) technology is mature and has been implemented on many ground-based and air-borne instruments using TES arrays. Several concept studies such as Origins Space Telescope (OST [4]) or Mid-InfraRed Exo-planet CLimate Explorer (MIRECLE [5]) consider this technology and Time Domain Multiplexing as one of the possible baseline technologies for their instruments. In order to address the aforementioned challenges we propose a novel modular solution called Modular Adaptive Transition Edge Sensor Superconducting quantum interference device Electronics (MATESSE) that will serve as the necessary step towards an adaptation of the solution to a space-proven system.
