"We present the results of characterization measurements on a 1280 pixel superconducting bolometer array designed for operation at wavelengths around 450 \u03BCm. The \narray is a prototype for the sub-arrays which will form the focal plane for the SCUBA-2 sub-mm camera, being built for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) \nin Hawaii. With over 10 000 pixels in total, it will provide a huge improvement in both sensitivity and mapping speed over existing instruments. The array \nconsists of molybdenum-copper bi-layer TES (transition edge sensor) pixels, bonded to a multiplexer. The detectors operate at a temperature of approximately \n175 mK, and require a heat sink at a temperature of approximately 60 mK. In contrast to previous TES arrays, the multiplexing elements are located beneath each \npixel (an \"in-focal plane\" configuration). We present the results of electrical and optical measurements, and show that the optical NEP (noise equivalent power) \nis less than 1.4 \u00D7 10-16 W Hz-0.5 and thus within the goal of 1.5 \u00D7 10-16 W Hz-0.5.\n\nCopyright 2006 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers. \nOne print or electronic copy may be made for personal use only.
