Abstract
Summary form only given, as follows. Bolometer detectors utilizing superconducting transition-edge sensor thermometers represent the current state-of-the-art for millimeter-wave astrophysical applications. This paper describes a fast, simple, and insightful analytical technique which applies to the design of absorber-coupled waveguide bolometer detectors. The technique robustly generates the dimensions and sheet resistance of the bolometer absorbing element. The analysis is based upon the EMF Method.
