Abstract
A new type of bolometer arrays sensitive in the Far Infrared and Submillimeter range has been developped and manufactured by CEA/LETI/SLIR and will be integrated in the PACS instrument onboard the Herschel Space Observatory (launch date 2008). The main innovations are their collective manufacturing technique (production of 3-side buttable 16x16 arrays) and their high mapping efficiency (large format detector and instantaneous Nyquist sampling). Their measured NEP is 2x10-16 W/Hz-0.5 and their thermometric passband about 4-5 Hz. In this paper we describe CEA bolometers and present the results obtained during the last test campaign.
