Abstract
At room temperature, YBCO possesses a relatively high temperature coefficie nt of resistance, -3.5% K-1, and a high pyroelectric coefficient, up to 20 mu C cm(-2) K-1. In this work, we report on the cryogenic characterization of semiconducting Y-Ba-Cu-O thin films on substrates in response to 100 fs optical pulses at 810 nm and suspended thin film pixels in response to chop ped broadband infrared radiation. The temperature dependence of the zero-bi as pyroelectric response of the detectors is reported.
