Abstract
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.
