Optical Response of TES Bolometer Arrays for SAFARI Damian Audley, Gert de Lange, Jian-Rong Gao, Richard Hijmering, Pourya Khosropanah, Marcel Ridder, Neil Trappe Introduction SAFARI/SPEC is a far-infrared grating spectrometer for the proposed Japanese SPace Infrared telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA). SAFARI will cover the wavelength range 34—230 µm with a spectral resolution R~300 using four diffraction-grating modules populated with ultra-sensitive TES bolometers. These require a dark NEP≤2×10-19 W/√Hz to take advantage of SPICA's cold (<8 K) telescope. A Martin-Puplett interferometer can be inserted in the beam before the grating modules, providing a high-resolution mode with R varying from ~1500 at 230 µm to ~11000 at 35 µm. At SRON we have already fabricated TES bolometers that are twice as sensitive as required. Testing such sensitive detectors is challenging, particularly because a background power of only a few fW will saturate them. We have therefore built up a unique ultra-low background optical test facility based on a mechanically cooled dilution refrigerator, paying careful attention to magnetic shielding, EMI immunity, and light-tightness. We have verified that the optical efficiency (60%) of prototype detectors for SAFARI's short-wave band meets the requirement. We are now measuring the spectral response of prototype SAFARI detectors using an external optical source and a Michelson interferometer. These measurements are important to ensure that we can measure the dispersed grating spectrum accurately. Furthermore, they allow us to investigate the effects of the intrinsic properties of the TES bolometers (e.g. load-dependent time constant and responsivity) on the extracted interferogram spectra.

SAFARI's four bolometer arrays, coupled with a diffraction grating and Martin-Puplett Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS), will make spectroscopic observations of the cold, dusty Universe over the wavelength range 34 􀀀 􀀀230 m. Each of SAFARI's prototype bolometers consists of a Ti/Au transition edge sensor (TES), with a transition temperature close to 100 mK, and a tantalum absorber on a thermally-isolated silicon nitride membrane. The nitride membrane sits behind a few-moded feedhorn and in front of a hemispherical backshort. SAFARI requires extremely sensitive detectors (NEP < 2 10􀀀19 W= p Hz), with correspondingly low saturation powers, to take advantage of SPICA's 6-K cooled optics. We have measured the optical efficiency of prototype detectors for SAFARI's short-wave band (34􀀀􀀀60 m) and used an external FTS to explore the effects of non-linearity and saturation on their spectral response. We present our latest measurements of the optical response of prototype arrays, compare them with simulations, and discuss them in terms of the instrument performance. category : Applications Prototype Detectors for SAFARI’s Short-Wave Band (34—60 µm) Ta absorber 200x200 μm Ti/Au TES on silicon nitride island Hemispherical Backshort 500-µm diameter Measured devices with dark NEP as low as 6×10-19 W/√Hz; Tc~100 mK; Psat~10 fW.
