By using the hot-electron bolometer, for the first time the SPDC-generated idler-wave photons were directly detected in the terahertz frequency range. Spectrum of corresponding signal photons was measured using standard technique by the CCD camera. Possible applications of correlated optical-terahertz biphotons are discussed. %K NbN HEB applications %R 10.1109/LO.2018.8435659 %U https://doi.org/10.1109/LO.2018.8435659 %P 303
