1- Internal documents on noise, optics, and bolometer specifications:

    2007/02/01 - Report comparing various optical software: pdf.

    2007/03/21 - Report about Noise Equivalent Power and Photon noise, including basis from statistical physics: pdf.

    2007/06/13 - Presentation for the IRAM Journal Club of my specifications work on bolometers for the 30m telescope, and the status of SCUBA 2 (April/May 2007): pdf & ppt.

    2007/07/31 - Report about the results of Mathcad simulations to define specifications for ideal bolometer filled arrays at the 30m telescope for 4 bands (3, 2, 1, 0.85 mm) and Fields Of View from 4 to 12 arc minutes. Remark: the specifications have been refined and updated for several dedector architectures in 2008, but no updated report is available yet: pdf.

    2007/08/09 - Report about visits I did in May 2007 to SCUBA 2 group at UK ATC, and the GISMO group at GSFC, and summary of some interesting presentations shown at the LTD12 conference in July: pdf.

    2007/11/21 - Presentation for IRAM personnel reporting the first run of GISMO at the 30m telescope: ppt.

    2008/04/28 - Presentation for the 2008 SAC meeting reporting the Zemax simulations I conducted to propose a new optics in the 30m receiver cabin allowing FOVs around 7 arcminutes for heterodynes and around 10 arcminutes for bolometers: pdf & ppt.

    2008/06/17 - 3 slides presentation showing picturtes of GISMO optics and mounting in the receiver cabin of the 30m telescope: ppt.

    2009/04/28 - Presentation for the 2009 SAC meeting reporting (1) the results of my Mathcad simulation defining specifications for the future bolometer instrument at the 30m telescope,(2) the 2007 and 2008 GISMO runs, and (3) the organization of the NIKA prototype: pdf & ppt.

2- Pictures of the 30m telescope, its reciever cabin, and of the installation of GISMO for its first run (November 2007).
