Abstract
We describe the properties of a prototype bolometer operating at liqui d nitrogen temperature based on a Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x single crystal 15 mu m thick grown by the flux method. The use of thin single crystals havi ng low thermal capacities was suggested by the request of decreasing t he response time tau of the device. Preliminary results indicate that single-crystal-based far infrared bolometers can be competitive with t he commercial detectors operating at room temperature.
