Scientific paper

The status and developments in the area of superconductive photon detectors are reviewed with emphasis on superconductive tunnel junctions. An introduction to the basics of superconductive tunnel junctions for radiation is given together with the requirements on the read out electronics. Special attention is devoted to the influence of the various quasi-particle and phonon loss processes on the detector performance. The process of quasi-particle trapping, depending on the proximity effect, and the results obtained in the various experimental structures are addressed. This process also plays a central role in the read out of absorbers of a size substantially larger than the junctions themselves. Results of another way to increase detector size by the use of detector arrays are presented.
