A photon detector based upon photon-assisted tunneling in superconductor-insulator-superconductor or super-Schottky structures, in which the superconductor is a high transition temperature superconductor. An electrical bias is provided on either side of such structures so that photo-assisted tunneling, in the presence of incident photons on the structure, can occur to thereby permit a tunneling current therebetween.
