Abstract :
The performance of superconductors as FIR detectors is reviewed. Particular attention is focussed on superconductive bolometers and Josephson-junction direct detectors. Key characteristics of these devices are discussed, observations or estimates of performance are noted, fundamental limitations are assessed, and directions for further work are suggested.
