摘要
The photoresponse is investigated in the frequency range of 0.15-15 THz in HgCdTe epitaxial layers with a cadmium concentration from 15.2 to 19.2% grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. It is shown that narrow-gap and gapless HgCdTe solid solutions can be used as detectors of both terahertz and sub-terahertz radiation with a characteristic response time of 2-4 ns and with a sensitivity approachingn-InSb-based detectors widely used in this range.
