BelénMartínez-González, EnriquePascual Cisneros, GuillermoInstrumentationSystematic errorsAstronomyCalibrationPolarizationCosmic microwave backgroundThis article belongs to the Special Issue Towards Optoelectronic Technology: From Basic Research to Applications.This paper presents a polarization calibration method applied to a microwave polarimeter demonstrator based on a near-infrared (NIR) frequency up-conversion stage that allows both optical correlation and signal detection at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The instrument was designed to measure the polarization of cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation from the sky, obtaining the Stokes parameters of the incoming signal simultaneously, in a frequency range from 10 to 20 GHz. A linearly polarized input signal with a variable polarization angle is used as excitation in the polarimeter calibration setup mounted in the laboratory. The polarimeter systematic errors can be corrected with the proposed calibration procedure, achieving high levels of polarization efficiency (low polarization percentage errors) and low polarization angle errors. The calibration method is based on the fitting of polarization errors by means of sinusoidal functions composed of additive or multiplicative terms. The accuracy of the fitting increases with the number of terms in such a way that the typical error levels required in low-frequency CMB experiments can be achieved with only a few terms in the fitting functions. On the other hand, assuming that the calibration signal is known with the required accuracy, additional terms can be calculated to reach the error levels needed in ultrasensitive B-mode polarization CMB experiments.This research was funded by the Spanish Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI, MICIU) grant numbers ESP2017-92135-EXP, ESP2017-83921-C2-1-R, AYA2017-90675-REDC, and PID2019-110610RB-C21/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, co-funded with EU FEDER funds.
