Abstract
In a device wherein a region which includes a superconducting weak link or a Josephson junction is irradiated with light or an electromagnetic wave so as to detect the light or an electromagnetic wave on the basis of the change of a superconducting critical current or an output voltage; a light-sensitive superconducting device characterized in that the surface of a superconductor lies in contact with a photoconductive semiconductor in at least a part of the whole of the region which is irradiated with the light or the electromagnetic wave.
