μW/K
microwatt per kelvin
Thermal conductanceexact by definition
The microwatt per kelvin is 10⁻⁶ W/K. Bolometers and transition-edge sensors are designed around a thermal conductance in this range: the weaker the link to the cold bath, the larger the temperature rise per absorbed photon and the more sensitive the detector.
