Abstract

We propose a novel concept for FIR light detection by means of Hall devices biased at strong currents. The base of the device operation is the effect of photoinduced breakdown of the integer quantum Hall effect (QHE). We demonstrate experimentally that the increase of the bias current from 100 to 300 μA leads to the photoresponse enhancement by over two orders of magnitude. Application of the presented results for designing a tunable high sensitive FIR photodetector is discussed.
