TL;DR: The balloon-borne PIPER instrument as discussed by the authors uses a variable-delay polarization modulator (VPM) as the primary optical element, two off-axis mirrors, a folding flat, and re-imaging optics with offaxis lenses that focus each of the orthogonal linear polarization signals through an analyzer grid and onto two bolometer arrays.

TL;DR: The EChO (Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory) is a dedicated survey mission for transit and eclipse spectroscopy capable of observing a large and diverse planet sample within its four-year mission lifetime as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The first attempt to detect the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect at a wavelength of 1.15 mm was reported in this paper, where position-dependent offsets were analyzed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the South Pole Telescope (SPT) is conducting a Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect survey over large areas of the southern sky, searching for massive galaxy clusters to high redshift.

TL;DR: In this article, a three-layer polytetra uoroethylene-based anti-reflective (AR) coating was developed for the third generation camera, SPT-3G, of the South Pole Telescope (SPT) experiment.
