- Abstract
Transition-edge-sensor (TES) bolometers are the chosen detector technology for the SAFARI Imaging Spectrometer on the SPICA telescope. For this mission, SRON is developing bolometers, each consisting of a TiAu TES that is weakly coupled to the thermal bath through thin legs of silicon nitride. In order to understand and optimize the bolometer and to verify our detector models, we characterize the devices using a series of complex impedance measurements. We apply equivalent bolometer analysis (EBA) in combination with model fitting to these data. From this analysis, we obtain important parameters that give us confidence in our understating of the response and noise of these sensitive detectors.
