A 2D periodic array of cold-electron bolometers was developed and tested, arranged into a wideband frequency selective metasurface that absorbs more than 70% of incident power in the range of 100-800GHz. Preliminary experiments and noise performance simulations demonstrated high voltage responsivity and realization of background noise-limited performance in the array.
We developed and tested a 2D periodic array of cold-electron bolometers arranged into a wideband frequency selective metasurface that absorbs more than 70% of the incident power in the frequency range 100-800 GHz. The array had 10 x 10 unit cells, each containing four bolometers incorporated into a ring. The chip with bolometers was mounted on the back side of the silicon lens without a back-reflector. Preliminary experiments demonstrated voltage responsivity as high as 10(9) V/W for the current-biased series array. Simulation of the noise performance shows realization of background noise-limited performance with NEPtot < NEPphot for the optical power load P-0 > 15 pW. Results of numerical simulation made for the unit cell of the array are presented together with the equivalent diagram based on lumped network elements. The unit cell also was developed numerically to operate in two radiation modes.
