(author), Van der Kuur, J. (author), Gao, J.R. (author) We describe the optimization of transition edge superconducting (TES) detectors for use in a far-infrared (FIR) Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) mounted on a cryogenically cooled space-borne telescope (e.g. SPICA). The required noise equivalent power (NEP) of the detectors is approximately 10?19 W/ ?Hz in order to be lower than the photon...
