Ideal Integrating Bolometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
A bolometer consists of a thermometer with heat capacity C mounted on an absorbing substrate, weakly coupled to a bath at temperature T0 via a thermal conductance G ( Figure 1 ). Resistive bolometers (including both composite and transition-edge bolometers) use the temperature dependence of a resistive element to measure the infrared signal incident on the absorber. In steady-state operation, the thermometer heats up until the dissipated power matches the power conducted through the thermal link to the bath,

متن کاملNumerical optimization of integrating cavities for diffraction-limited millimeter-wave bolometer arrays.
Far-infrared to millimeter-wave bolometers designed to make astronomical observations are typically encased in integrating cavities at the termination of feedhorns or Winston cones. This photometer combination maximizes absorption of radiation, enables the absorber area to be minimized, and controls the directivity of absorption, thereby reducing susceptibility to stray light. In the next decad...
متن کاملMicrocalorimeter and bolometer model
The standard nonequilibrium theory of noise in ideal bolometers and microcalorimeters fails to predict the performance of real devices due to additional effects that become important at low temperature. In this paper we extend the theory to include the most important of these effects and find that the performance of microcalorimeters operating at 60 mK can be quantitatively predicted. We give a...
متن کاملHighly sensitive hot electron bolometer based on disordered graphene
A bolometer is a device that makes an electrical resistive response to the electromagnetic radiation resulted from a raise of temperature due to heating. The combination of the extremely weak electron-phonon interactions along with its small electron heat capacity makes graphene an ideal material for applications in ultra-fast and sensitive hot electron bolometer. However, a major issue is that...
