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, t...
