Novel superconducting thermometer for bolometric applications

  • 1. National Bureau of Standards, Boulder, Colorado 80303

Description

The temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth in a superconductor, in the kinetic inductance limit, is proposed as a basis for a sensitive thermometer. Considered as a bolometer, the noise equivalent power from the sum of the Johnson noise and the preamplifier noise can be reduced to about 7 x 10-20 W/(Hz)/sup 1/2/, which is approximately four orders of magnitude below currently realized values
