Abstract

The Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM) is a NASA far-infrared balloon mission, which will fly 2 arrays of ~3600 kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs). The horn-coupled low-volume aluminum lumped-element KIDs are photon noise limited at 80 fW of loading, satisfying the TIM requirements. Kilopixel arrays of these KIDs have been made with >95% yield and we will report on their latest performance evaluation.
