Popis:	The theory of the InSb hot electron bolometer was first considered by Rollin [1] and a working detector was constructed by Kinch and Rollin [2]. We have investigated carefully the optimization of this type of detector and have made absolute, wideband, calibration measurements under operating conditions. Comparison measurements have also been made with a gallium-doped germanium bolometer under a restricted range of operating conditions; it is found that under these conditions the performance of the InSb detector is better by a factor of ∼25. The indium antimonide detector has been used in the laboratory for high resolution spectroscopy using the polarizing interferometer described by Martin and Puplett [3].
