Abstract
Bolometers are used as detectors in the Herschel SPIRE and PACS instruments. This chapter focuses on the history of bolometer development leading to the SPIRE and PACS detectors, operating in the submillimetre and far-infrared wavelength ranges. This historical and technological review describes the main technical lineages of bolometers and how the SPIRE and PACS instruments on Herschel, respectively, employed both an adapted and improved variant of a well-established technology and a novel bolometer architecture developed especially for the mission.
