THIN-FILM BOLOMETER

Abstract

The thermal characteristics of the thin-film resistance thermometer for measurement of electromagnetic energy fluxes were investigated. When 1t<<1, the temperature-time history of the thin film is mathematically the same as that of the surface of a semi-infinite slab heated by a constant energy flux. The antenna properties of the thin-film gauge have been analyzed using a simple antenna model and equivalent circuit. The relation that the analysis predicts values of energy fluxes that are about 40% below the measured values. (Author)
