Erik Shirokoff Associate Professor, Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics Education: Ph.D., U. C. Berkeley, 2011 Phone: (773) 834-5399 Location: ERC 343 Email: shiro ![]() Webpage Affiliations: Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics Research A prototype SuperSpec device. This on-chip KID spectrometer features 80 channels operating in the mm-wavelength atmospheric band and read-out with a single multiplexed line. The wide-band microwave probe couples to a metal feed horn. Publications: ADS | arXiv | inSPIREImage by H. G. Leduc, JPL MDL. Erik develops novel cryogenic detectors operating at millimeter and submm-wavelengths for the study of high-redshift galaxies, the epoch of reionization, and the Cosmic Microwave Background. He's currently involved in three projects: SuperSpec is an on-chip filter-bank spectrometer technology. Its small size, wide spectral bandwidth, and highly multiplexed Kinetic Inductance Detector readout will enable construction of powerful multi-object and integral-field spectrometers such as X-Spec, a proposed instrument for the CCAT telescope. The Tomographic Ionized-Carbon Mapping Experiment is an imaging spectrometer that will use 158 micron [CII] emission to probe reionization and large scale structure at redshifts 5-9. SPT-3G, the third generation camera for the South Pole Telescope, will observe the CMB with tens of thousands of polarization-sensitive, multi-chroic, lens-coupled TES sensors.
