Abstract

A new, sensitive infrared bolometer has been developed that is especially suited for spectroscopy in the presence of high magnetic fields. The bolometer is made from carbon-glass [1], a material successfully used for thermometry in high magnetic fields [2]. The bolometer operates at liquid helium temperatures and exhibits a responsivity comparable to conventional germanium bolometers [3]. Contrary to Ge bolometers it is very insensitive to strong magnetic fields. Therefore it has been found extremely useful for magneto-optical experiments at far infrared frequencies.
