Abstract

Quantum Hall (QH) systems can work as very sensitive THz detectors. In this work we report on the spectral and temporal resolution of the QH THz photodetectors with different geometries. The spectral resolution of THz QH detectors is of the order of 1-3 meV depending on bias conditions. The temporal resolution of QH detectors depends on the device geometry. For Corbino-shaped detectors we have demonstrated the devices with response times from 10 ns to over 200 ns.
