PY 2012 BP 1716 EP 1719 VL 57 IS 12 DI 10.1134/S1063784212120250 DE YBCO HEB AB The bolometric response of high-temperature thin-film YBCO superconducting detectors to an electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 2.5 THz is measured for the first time. The minimum value of the noise-equivalent power of the detectors is 3.5 × 10−9 W/Hz−−−√. The feasibility of further increasing the sensitivity of the detectors is discussed. ER
