Optical design and modelling of the QUBIC instrument, a next-generation quasi-optical bolometric interferometer for cosmology

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe recent optical modelling of the QUBIC beam combiner, concentrating on modelling the instrument point-spread-function and its operation in the 220 GHz band, showing the effects of optical aberrations and truncation as successive components are added to the beam path.

TL;DR: The QU Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology (QUBIC) as mentioned in this paper was designed to measure the B-mode polarization anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

QUBIC: the Q&U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology. A novel way to look at the polarized Cosmic Microwave Background.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe QUBIC, an experiment that takes up the challenge posed by the detection of primordial gravitational waves with a novel approach, that combines the sensitivity of state-of-the-art bolometric detectors with the systematic effects control typical of interferometers.
