X-ray diffracted intensity for double reflection channel cut Ge monochromators at extremely asymmetric diffraction conditions

The width and the integrated intensity of the 220 x-ray double diffraction profile and the shift of the Bragg condition due to refraction have been measured in a channel cut Ge crystal in an angular range near the critical angle of total external reflection. The Bragg angle and incidence condition were varied by changing the x-ray energy. In agreement with the extended dynamical theory of x-ray diffraction, the integrated intensity of the double diffraction remained almost constant even for grazing incidence condition very close to the critical angle C for total external reflection. A broadening of the diffraction profile not predicted by the extended theory of x-ray diffraction was observed when the Bragg condition was at angles of incidence lower than 0.6?. Plane wave topographs revealed a contrast that could be explained by a slight residual crystal surface undulation of 0.3 degrees due to the etching to remove the cutting damage and the increasing effect of refraction at glancing angles close to the critical angle. These findings confirm that highly asymmetric channel cut Ge crystals can work as efficient monochromators or image magnifiers also at glancing angles close to the critical angle and that the main limitation is the crystal surface preparation

high performance microwave waveguide devices produced by laser powder bed fusion process

Abstract Additive manufacturing technologies are currently envisaged to boost the development of a next generation of microwave devices intended for satellite telecommunications. Due to their excellent electromagnetic and mechanical properties, metal waveguide components are key building blocks of several radio frequency (RF) systems used in these applications. This article reports the perspectives deriving from the use of laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) technology to the production of high-performance microwave waveguide devices. A robust design of filters has been implemented in several prototypes manufactured in AlSi10Mg alloy. The corresponding measured performance confirm the applicability of the L-PBF process to the intended application

3D Printing of a Monolithic K/Ka-Band Dual-Circular Polarization Antenna-Feeding Network

In this paper, a Ka/K-band antenna-feeding network in dual-circular polarization is reported. The design of the system was carried out in view of its monolithic manufacturing through selective laser melting in AlSi10Mg alloy. As a proof-of-concept for satellite telecommunication multi-beam applications, the feeding network operates in the K band (19.25, 20.75) GHz and in the Ka band (27.0, 29.0) GHz. The system provides four rectangular-waveguide ports and a common dual-polarized circular-waveguide port to be connected to the feed horn. The prototype exhibits measured values of in-band return loss better than 28 dB and a port-to-port isolation better than 19 dB (in polarization) and 50 dB (in frequency). The cross-polar discrimination is higher than 20 dB. In this regard, an elliptical-waveguide line was specifically designed and manufactured to recover a value higher than 30 dB in both frequency bands. The line can be easily integrated in the feed horn to be connected to the feeding-network thanks the ease of customization provided by 3D printing. The insertion losses are lower than 0.5 and 0.2 dB in the K and Ka bands, respectively. The weight of the prototype is approximately 130 g

The Large-Scale Polarization Explorer (LSPE)

The LSPE is a balloon-borne mission aimed at measuring the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at large angular scales, and in particular to constrain the curl component of CMB polarization (B-modes) produced by tensor perturbations generated during cosmic inflation, in the very early universe. Its primary target is to improve the limit on the ratio of tensor to scalar perturbations amplitudes down to r = 0.03, at 99.7% confidence. A second target is to produce wide maps of foreground polarization generated in our Galaxy by synchrotron emission and interstellar dust emission. These will be important to map Galactic magnetic fields and to study the properties of ionized gas and of diffuse interstellar dust in our Galaxy. The mission is optimized for large angular scales, with coarse angular resolution (around 1.5 degrees FWHM), and wide sky coverage (25% of the sky). The payload will fly in a circumpolar long duration balloon mission during the polar night. Using the Earth as a giant solar shield, the instrument will spin in azimuth, observing a large fraction of the northern sky. The payload will host two instruments. An array of coherent polarimeters using cryogenic HEMT amplifiers will survey the sky at 43 and 90 GHz. An array of bolometric polarimeters, using large throughput multi-mode bolometers and rotating Half Wave Plates (HWP), will survey the same sky region in three bands at 95, 145 and 245 GHz. The wide frequency coverage will allow optimal control of the polarized foregrounds, with comparable angular resolution at all frequencies.Comment: In press.

The STRIP instrument of the Large Scale Polarization Explorer: microwave eyes to map the Galactic polarized foregrounds

In this paper we discuss the latest developments of the STRIP instrument of the "Large Scale Polarization Explorer" (LSPE) experiment. LSPE is a novel project that combines ground-based (STRIP) and balloon-borne (SWIPE) polarization measurements of the microwave sky on large angular scales to attempt a detection of the "B-modes" of the Cosmic Microwave Background polarization. STRIP will observe approximately 25% of the Northern sky from the "Observatorio del Teide" in Tenerife, using an array of forty-nine coherent polarimeters at 43 GHz, coupled to a 1.5 m fully rotating crossed-Dragone telescope. A second frequency channel with six-elements at 95 GHz will be exploited as an atmospheric monitor. At present, most of the hardware of the STRIP instrument has been developed and tested at sub-system level. System-level characterization, starting in July 2018, will lead STRIP to be shipped and installed at the observation site within the end of the year. The on-site verification and calibration of the whole instrument will prepare STRIP for a 2-years campaign for the observation of the CMB polarization.Comment: 17 pages, 15 figures, proceedings of the SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation conference "Millimeter, Submillimeter, and Far-Infrared Detectors and Instrumentation for Astronomy IX", on June 15th, 2018, Austin (TX

Etude des procédés de croissance de couche et de décapage ionique par mesures de diffusion spéculaire et diffuse de rayons X

A novel X-ray scattering technique and a dedicated apparatus have been conceived and realized at the optics beamline BM5 at the ESRF. The apparatus permits to study the surface roughness in-situ and in real time via grazing incidence X-ray scattering. Theinteraction of X-rays with the surface was analyzed in the framework of the first order scalar perturbation theory expressing the surface's attributes through the power spectral density function. Information on the rms roughness, the correlation length, the roughness conformity and the scaling exponents characterizing the synthesis process could be extracted. The potential of the method was demonstrated in two particular cases: thin film deposition by magnetron sputtering and surface etching by ion beam bombardment.Finally, the experimental results obtained were discussed in the light of the present models of film growth and ion interaction with solids.Une nouvelle technique basée sur la diffusion des rayons X et un montage adapté ont été conçus et implémentés sur la ligne de lumière BM5 de l'ESRF. L'instrument permet l'étude in situ et en temps réel e la rugosité d'une surface par diffusion en incidence rasante. L'interaction des rayons X avec la surface, analysée dans le cadre de la théorie des perturbations scalaire du premier ordre, permet d'exprimer les paramètres caractérisant une surface par sa densité spectrale de puissance. En final les valeurs de rugosité, de longueur de corrélation, de conformité de la rugosité, et les exposants propres aux processus de synthèse ont été obtenus.Les potentiels d'un tel instrument ont été vérifiés dans deux cas particuliers: le dépôt de couches minces par pulvérisation magnétron et le décapage par bombardement ionique. Les résultats expérimentaux obtenus ont été discutés par rapport aux modèles actuels décrivant la croissance des films minces et l'interaction des ions avec un solide
