Jl. Lin et al., LASER ENHANCEMENT OF RADIATION DETECTION SENSITIVITY OF A YBCO FILM, Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 6(34), 1994, pp. 120000509-120000510
We report experimental results which demonstrate the laser enhancement
of the sensitivity of a YBa2Cu8O7-delta film as a radiation detector
and the existence of a non-thermal optical response. The bias continuo
us wave laser beam enhances the sensitivity at higher chopping frequen
cy range (more than 80 Hz) near the critical temperature of the film.
The enhancement shows the non-bolometer response.
