Notable examples of bolometers employed in submillimeter astronomy include the Herschel Space Observatory, the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, and the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy ( SOFIA ).

The main competitors of HgCdTe are less sensitive Si-based bolometers ( see uncooled infrared camera ), InSb and photon-counting superconducting tunnel junction ( STJ ) arrays.

Electrothermal feedback is important for describing the performance of several types of photodetectors such as the bolometer, the transition edge sensor, and the superconducting nanowire single-photon detector.

A "'bolometer "'is a device for measuring the power of incident electromagnetic radiation via the heating of a material with a temperature-dependent electrical resistance.
35.
A bolometer consists of an absorptive element, such as a thin layer of metal, connected to a thermal reservoir ( a body of constant temperature ) through a thermal link.

In 1991-92, Gonzalez-Mestres also discussed the possible use of the luminescent bolometer to improve effective segmentation and energy resolution in solar neutrino experiments incorporating an indium target,.
37.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif ., developed and built the " spider web " bolometers for this instrument, which is 40 times more sensitive than previous versions.
38.
The first camera installed on the SPT contained a 960-element bolometer array of superconducting transition edge sensors ( TES ), which made it one of the largest TES bolometer arrays ever built.

With Terry Gough and then graduate student Roger Miller, Scoles introduced the technique of bolometer-detected optothermal spectroscopy of molecular beams where vibrational excitation of a beam of molecules is detected by the bolometer.
