Abstract
The inherent properties of naturally layered materials such as the high-tem perature superconductors cause a transient voltage when a light pulse is ab sorbed. The amplitude is proportional to the absorbed energy. Observable pu lses arise in the HTS materials even at roam temperature. A phenomenologica l model of the effects consistent with our observations on the first genera tion of sensors will be discussed along with recent results regarding sensi tivity to single photons, array geometry and readout, and energy resolution .
