ABSTRACT:
A superconductor electromagnetic radiation detector includes a superconductor composite (2) that has a matrix (6) transparent to electromagnetic radiation wavelengths to be detected and a plurality of superconductor particles (4) dispersed in the matrix (6). The detector also includes remote means for detecting a physical response of the superconductor particles (4) to electromagnetic radiation. The physical response of the superconductor particles (4) to electromagnetic radiation indicates the presence of electromagnetic radiation. A method of detecting electromagnetic radiation includes illuminating a plurality of superconductor particles (4) dispersed in the matrix (6) of a superconductor composite (2) with electromagnetic radiation and remotely detecting a physical response to the superconductor particles (4) to the electromagnetic radiation.
