IUPAC definition : A detector constructed from a material having a large temperature coefficient of resistance.
Absorption of radiation gives rise to a change in resistance. A bolometer is named
according to its active component, e.g. thermistor bolometer, semiconductor bolometer,
superconductor bolometer.;
