Bolometers based on the structure of a superconductor - insulator - normal metal - insulator - superconductor with an absorber suspended above the substrate have been developed, manufactured, and experimentally investigated in the THz frequency range. In such structures, in contrast to the previously studied bolometers with an absorber located directly on the substrate, the bolometric mode of operation of the receiver is realized, i.e., more than one electron is excited per quantum of radiation (quantum efficiency greater than 1). In the studied bolometers, it was possible to achieve a quantum efficiency of 15 electrons per radiation quantum with a frequency of 350 GHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
