“…This aspect of the problem is studied in detail in the monograph [9]. Designs for the coming decade incorporate developing of matrix radiometers that are 100 times more sensitive than those used in the PLANCK mission, cooled to temperatures of 0.3 K and having several thousand elements (so-called Transistor Edge Sensors [25]). …”

The exponential development of radio-astronomy methods (sensitivity, resolution, depth of surveys, etc) has led to the need for new methods aimed at distinguishing weak signals in the midst of numerous background signals, as has long been the case for radio astronomy at meter wavelengths. Centimeter-wavelength data accumulated with existing radio telescopes (such as the RATAN-600 reflector-the largest radio telescope in Russia) are presented, and expected problems for major new radio telescopes of the 21st century, such as the Square Kilometer Array, are discussed. The effectiveness of using certain tested methods to derive astrophysically important results through reasonable statistical processing of large datasets is shown. In experiments conducted with RATAN-600, these methods lead to an enhancement in sensitivity by an order of magnitude compared with the sensitivity of a resolving element.

Brief history of terahertz (THz) and infrared (IR) science and technology, for learning lessons by historical evolution is presented and discussed identifying important (from Author's point of view) steps for their development. THz still is the not well-known region of electromagnetic science, even it has been lightened by starting of scientific and technological knowledge, since the end of 19 th century. As concerning history of IR science and technology, it took many years since 1800 (W. Hershel) to reach the level of use that is recognized today. The link between IR and thermal science and applications was so strong that IR was for a long time synonymous of thermography. THz science and technology are showing a rapid growth. IR and, especially THz technologies, now have become one of the major fields of applied research. Nowadays, they become widely spread in their use in astrophysics, security, biomedicine, detection of hidden objects, food and art inspection, etc. The increasing requirements for fast transmission of large amounts of data will lead to the extension of operation frequencies in communications toward the THz frequency range. IR and THz medical imaging can provide guidance for surgeons in delimiting the tumor margins, help clinicians visualize diseased area, etc. A few decades ago, IR technologies were mainly the domain of military ones. In recent two decades, due to widespread of lowcost thermal uncooled arrays there were realized many IR technology advances in civil and military applications. A large amount of THz technologies mass-market applications can't be highlighted, as these technologies do not meet yet the user requirements, especially in easiness of use and costs. Still, many of THz applications that we have now are emerging and showing their applicability in some implementations, where other methods can't give any comprehensive information, e.g., in dry food inspection for dielectric inclusions, skin tumour margins control, THz astronomy, package and envelope inspection, etc. The brief lessons given by historical highlights in THz and IR science and applications can be important for the future developments in these directions as history frequently opens routes for new thinking. In this brief review, the missed important steps can happen. Author apologizes for these possible faults.

“…In 1995, cryogenic detector research changed with the reinvention of electrothermal feedback for transition edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeters based on superconductors operated at the phase transition between the superconducting and normal state (Andrews et al, 1942;Irwin, 1995). TESs have the unique advantage that their resistance increases with temperature at the superconducting-to-normal transition, as compared with semiconductor detectors whose resistance decreases with increasing T. This allows the exploitation of electrothermal feedback (ETF) when voltage-biasing the TES, i.e.…”

Cryogenic X-ray detectors for synchrotron science

Cryogenic detectors operated at temperatures below 1 K offer an order of magnitude higher energy resolution than conventional semiconductor-based energy-dispersive detectors, and orders of magnitude higher efficiency that grating spectrometers. Initially developed for astrophysics applications, these detectors are increasingly used in synchrotron-based research, both for detector characterization and for high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy. This article reviews current cryogenic detector technologies and their performance with respect to their use in synchrotron science. It also discusses areas of research that can benefit from improved energy resolution detectors, and outlines desirable detector developments in the context of novel science they would enable.
