Abstract
Noise spectra of a InSb hot electron bolometer at 4.2 K bath temperature are measured and compared with theory. Bolometer phonon noise and Johnson noise are included in the analysis. A nonequilibrium Johnson noise model, due to Mather, gives good agreement with experiment over the frequency range 0.2-1.1 MHz. This model incorporates an elevated electron gas temperature and electrothermal feedback from the bias supply.
