We present a superconducting noise bolometer for terahertz radiation, which is suitable for large-format arrays. It is based on an antenna-coupled superconducting micro-bridge embedded in a high-quality factor superconducting resonator for a microwave bias and readout with frequency-division multiplexing in the GHz range. The micro-bridge is kept below its critical temperature and biased with a microwave current of slightly lower amplitude than the critical current of the microbridge. The response of the detector is the rate of superconducting fluctuations, which depends exponentially on the concentration of quasiparticles in the micro-bridge. Excess quasiparticles are generated by an incident THz signal. Since the quasiparticle lifetime increases exponentially at lower operation temperature, the noise equivalent power rapidly decreases. This approach allows for large arrays of noise bolometers operating above 1 K with sensitivity, limited by 300-K background noise. Moreover, the response of the bolometer always dominates the noise of the readout due to relatively large amplitude of the bias current. We performed a feasibility study on a proof-of-concept device with a 1.0 × 0.5 m 2 micro-bridge from a 9-nm thin Nb film on a sapphire substrate. Having a critical temperature of 5.8 K, it operates at 4.2 K and is biased at the frequency 5.6 GHz. For the quasioptical input at 0.65 THz, we measured the noise equivalent power 3×10-12 W/Hz, which is close to expectations for this particular device in the noise-response regime.The demand for sensitive large-format arrays of THz detectors today exists in different terrestrial applications, e.g. THz imaging for non-destructive testing or imaging spectroscopy for material research [1][2][3][4] . The array performance, limited only by the noise of the roomtemperature background radiation (noise equivalent power, NEP photon ≈10-15 W/Hz 1/2 ), is desired at a moderate operation temperature (T b >2 K), which is provided by low-cost and compact cryogenic coolers. Previously, THz imaging arrays with ~10 2 pixels were demonstrated 5,6 . They met the sensitivity requirements, but suffered from rapidly growing complexity of the readout with an increase of the array size. A remarkable example of an array-scalable sensor is the microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) 7 , which is based on high-Q superconducting resonators. Along with frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) in the GHz range, this approach allows for building kilo-pixel arrays using powerful software-defined radio (SDR) 8 . However, THzrange pair-braking MKIDs are using superconductors with small energy gap and operating at T b~1 00 mK, which requires expensive and bulky cryogenics. Another type of THz-range array-scalable detector, which is able to work at T b >2 K, is the kinetic inductance bolometer (KIBs) 9,10 . Each KIB is a lumped-element resonator on a suspended absorptive membrane. The NEP≈10 -14 W/Hz 1/2 was reported for the large array of KIBs 11 . However, due to relatively high AC losses, the resonator...
