Description

Dynamical theory of responsivity and response time for an high temperature superconductor (HTSC) photo-thermoelectrical bolometer is analysed in this paper. There is a thermoelectric feedback (TEF) due to the heat transfer from the sensitive area (HTSC-BiSb thermojunction) towards the cold junction of the thermocouple. This is in addition to the normal electrothermal feedback (ETF) between the detector and the substrate, in a photoelectrical bolometer. The two legs of the thermocouple are connected in a parallel geometry configuration. It is seen that TEF can be used in combination with the ETF to enhance responsivity and response time of the detector
