Abstract

The far infrared response of granular thin-film Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 superconductor has been investigated using long (≈5 μs) but sharply truncated free electron laser pulses in the frequency range between 50 cm−1 and 125 cm−1. Under constant current bias, a fast response and a slow bolometric signal component could be identified in this energy range, which is below the BCS energy gap (≈ 200 cm−1). Measurements of the power dependences of the signal voltages showed that both the fast and the thermal responses are consistent with the predictions of the resistively shunted Josephson junction model.
