Submillimeter Galaxies are dust enshrouded, high redshift galaxies
with extreme luminosities greater than 1012 Lsolar powered by star formation. In order to fully understand the star formation history of the universe, we must know the dust temperatures, bolometric luminoities and redshifts of these galaxies by measuring the full spectral energy distribution (SED) in the submillimeter and millimeter bands. To quickly acquire the long-wavelength component of the SED, we are constructing a camera for the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) using antenna-coupled Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs). MKIDs are highly sensitive superconducting pair-breaking detectors which, when coupled to lithographed phased-array antennas, can read out multiple bands simultaneously. The MKID camera will have 600 pixels, each viewing bands centered at 750 μm, 850 μm, 1.1 mm and 1.3 mm. We are verifying the performance of the detectors using a demonstration camera, a 16-pixel, 2-color (850 μm and 1.3mm) array, at the CSO.
