Multiplexed Readout of CMB Polarimeters

Abstract
This paper describes contributions to the workshop, 'Technology Development for a CMB Probe of Inflation,' held at NIST in Boulder CO, Aug. 25-28, 2008 concerning technologies to read out direct detectors (including bolometers and microwave kinetic inductance detectors) in a CMBPol satellite mission. The large number of polarimeters required for a satellite mission will likely make it necessary to multiplex the output signals into a small number of readout channels at the cold state. We describe both the cryogenic components and the present-generation warm readout electronics, consider the benefits and challenges of each option, and analyze their technology readiness level and needed additional investments.Citation
