Summary

The bolometer consisted of two meander-like YBCO structures separated by a distance of 5 mm on a silicon substrate. A two-stage Gifford-McMahon cryocooler with an additional thermostat was used to cool the samples to a temperature of about 88 K, with a 5 milliK fluctuation peak to peak. A factor of 100 improvement in signal-to-noise ratio was achieved during the compensation experiments.
