The THz spectral range is very intersting both from the aspect of fundamental physics as for technical applications.The THz waves we generate by a p-Ge laser system (120µm < λ < 180µm). We present observations of the photoresponse (PR) obtained at samples made from wafers with a narrow gap as HgTe quantum wells embedded in barriers of HgCdTe as well as InSb quantum wells embedded in barriers of AlInSb. We observed the cyclotron resonance by the measurement of the transmission as a function of the magnetic field B. Further, we measured the photoconductivity in Corbino-shaped devices made from the HgCdTe/HgTe/HgCdTe and AlInSb/InSb/AlInSb wafers.
