Welcome to the official SABOCA website SABOCA ( Submillimeter APEX Bolometer Camera) is a multi-beam bolometric receiver developed by the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie (MPIfR) of Bonn SABOCA is a superconducting (TES) bolometer camera installed on the APEX telescope for operation in the 350 micron atmospheric window Spectral Response
The spectral band passing through the
set of filters used in SABOCA has been measured at MPIfR with our
Martin-Puplett FFT interferometer. The figure below shows the passband
of SABOCA compared to the atmospheric transmission at APEX, on the
Llano de Chajnantor, for typical values of the precipitable water vapor.
