Additional information
This paper describes the main SPT science instrument, which has resulted in a number of breakthrough scientific results. As a member of the instrument team I was involved in the optical and thermal design of the system. My group provided the band selection filters and calibration data for science retrieval. A particular challenge in this large aperture instrument was the control of the unwanted out of band power. I designed and supervised the manufacture and testing of special filters to reflect this power, allowing the detectors to operate at ultra-low temperature and hence desired sensitivity. I contributed to sections in the paper on these aspects.
