NASA new page and video for STO1, STO2 and GUSTO

NASA has released a new page containing information and a new video about STO2 and GUSTO. Worthy to look at:

GUSTO has been selected as NASA science mission

NASA has selected the balloon telescope mission GUSTO to measure radiation from the interstellar medium. GUSTO will provide the first complete study of all phases of the lifecycle of stars: from molecular clouds, through the birth and evolution of stars until the gas clouds of dying stars, back to the beginning of the cycle. TU-Delft and SRON will provide the key detection technology. More information about this great achievement can be found in the News page.

Efficiency of multi-beam Fourier phase gratings at 1.4 THz

Since terahertz heterodyne receivers are approaching quantum-noise limited sensitivity, to further improve spatial observing efficiency, multi-pixel heterodyne receivers are necessary, which improve the mapping speed of the telescope significantly. In this work we present two Fourier phase gratings at 1.4 THz for making 4 and 8 local oscillator beams out of a single input.
