The modulation frequencies up to 10 GHz for GaAs laser and up to 1 GHz for CO$_{2}$ were attained. The use of small radiation power (1 - 10 mW/cm$^{2}$ for cw radiation and 10 - 100 nJ/cm$^{2}$ for pulse radiation) in combination with high sensitive read-out system made possible to avoid any non-linear transient processes caused by an overheating of sample above a critical temperature or S-N switching enhanced by an intense radiation. Responses due to the change of kinetic inductance were believed to be negligible. The only signals observed were caused by a small change of the film resistance either in the resistive state created by a bias current or in the normal state. The data obtained by means of pulse and modulation techniques are in agreement. The responsivity about 1 V/W was measured at 1 GHz modulation frequency both for 0.85 micrometers and 10.6 micrometers wavelengths. The sensitivity of high-T$_{c}$ fast wideband infrared detector is discussed.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1640), last updated on Wed, 26 May 2021 21:18:46 -0500", doi="10.1117/12.176131", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1117/12.176131" }
