Abstract

ransition Edge Bolometers (TEB) are among the simplest radiation detectors. The straightforward operation mode provides good results only if it is combined with a careful thermal optimization.In a TEB, the strong dependence of the electrical resistivity on the temperature in its transition zone enables the detection of a variation of the local temperature which can reach tens of µK. For this reason, it is essential to study the thermal profile of the superconducting active part of the detector, hence its substrate, to make it as homogeneous as possible.Irradiated YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-x (YBCO) films can be used for position sensitive detection of infrared radiation. A TEB with a double meander pattern, one of which with a reduced critical temperature due to irradiation with high-energy heavy ions, was designed to work in a portable cryostat at a temperature above the liquid nitrogen (LN 2 ) point.In this work, we present a series of Finite Element Method simulations (using COMSOL Multiphysics ® ) aimed at the optimization of the thermal distribution above the YBCO film. Once the optimal working point for the device is found, various materials for the bolometer hosting are tested to identify the combination that provides the most homogeneous temperature distribution. The optimal configurations are then analyzed in response to a sudden change in the PID current to determine the one which presents the best behavior in a transient situation.
