  • Abstract
    We report on the fabrication and characterization of a voltage-biased superconducting bolometer (VSB) in a cryogen-free 4 K cryostat for applications at far-infrared wavelengths. The VSB is made using standard microfabrication techniques. An optical NEP of 0.83 pW/√Hz has been measured with a Tc ~7.12 K.
