title = "Y-Ba-Cu-O thin films as high speed IR detectors",
abstract = "Y-Ba-Cu-O thin film infrared detectors were fabricated and studied with various lasers. Operation of the detector in both the bolometric and nonbolometric modes was investigated at 10 μm witha CO2 laser. In the bolometric mode, the detectivity of the detector at 90 K was 2.1×108 cm-Hz 1/2 /W with a response time of 15 μs, corresponding to a bandwidth of 70 KHz. The speed of the detector in the nonbolometric mode was much faster and was beyond the instrument resolution. With a picosecond N2 laser, the output showed an instrument limited duration of 2 ns. The detectivity could not be determined in the nonbolometric mode due to the extremely low noise. The superconducting film quality is critical to the performance of these detectors.",
