abstract="An ultrafast detector that is sensitive to radiation in a broad spectral range from submillimeter waves to visible light is reported. It consists of a structured NbN thin film cooled to a temperature below Tc (\~{}11 K). Using 20 ps pulses of a GaAs laser, we observed signal pulses with both rise and decay time of about 50 ps. From the analysis of a mixing experiment with submillimeter radiation we estimate an intrinsic response time of the detector of \~{}12 ps. The sensitivity was found to be similar for the near-infrared and submillimeter radiation. Broadband sensitivity and short response time are attributed to a quasiparticle heating effect.",
