Bolometric interferometry: the millimeter-wave bolometric interferometer

Bolometric interferometry is not a new idea, but this technique has not been demonstrated at millimeter wavelengths. The millimeter-wave bolometric interferometer combines the advantages of two well-developed technologies - interferometers and bolometric detectors - and will open a new region of sensitivity and angular resolution not previously accessible to other instruments.
