Abstract
The theory of superconducting bolometer operation is presented and a small-signal equivalent circuit developed. This circuit contains a portion that represents dynamic thermal effects and a portion resulting from superconductive phenomena. It is shown that the incremental impedance is greater than the dc resistance even for the limit of zero-frequency modulation. A peaking phenomenon is predicted in the incremental impedance versus temperature for this circuit. The characteristic parameters of a tin superconducting bolometer are presented to indicate the usefulness of incremental impedance measurements in determining these parameters.
