    • Equation (6) in this paper, for the inductive impedance of a microbridge, should have a prefactor [formula omitted] instead of [formula omitted] (M. Nahum, private commun.) For the bridge described in our paper, we find [formula omitted] is only [formula omitted] at 1 THz.

    • The relation [formula omitted] is appropriate for a discrete thermal element; our device is a distributed thermal element. Simulations of the distributed system by M. Nahum (private commun.) show that the discrete-element analysis presented here matches Eq. (1) to better than 10%.

    • The rf dissipation occurs in the bridge and is uniform along the length, because the frequency is above the gap frequency of the bridge. This leads to a parabolic profile for the temperature increase, with the peak temperature [formula omitted] the average rise. The profile is sharper than parabolic for the temperature rise due to dc dissipation, but we use the simpler parabolic law here also.

    • The electrons in the bridge need to come to internal thermal equilibrium on a time scale shorter than [formula omitted] The electron-electron inelastic time for thermal electrons at 4.4 K [formula omitted] is [formula omitted]

    • For small dc power dissipation the thermal conductance is given by [formula omitted] with L the Weidemann Franz constant, [formula omitted] and [formula omitted] the effective electrical resistance along the paths through which the heat flows out of the bridge, out the two ends; [formula omitted] We find [formula omitted] at 4.2 K, for [formula omitted] The actual thermal conductance G with finite dc dissipation is smaller than [formula omitted] due to self-heating effects. (Refs. 5 and 9) Thus, [formula omitted] with the self-heating parameter chosen to be [formula omitted] The electron heat capacity is given approximately by [formula omitted] with [formula omitted] and V the microbridge volume in [formula omitted] We define [formula omitted] for the average temperature increase with small dc dissipation.

    • With [formula omitted] the dominant noise is due to temperature fluctuations. In this case, the signal and noise are both attenuated in the same manner above [formula omitted] as [formula omitted] see Eq. (1). The receiver noise temperature will thus remain constant to above 10 GHz if. (N. R. Erickson, private communication)
