A new type of sensitive elements based on carbon nanotubes (SECNT) was developed for photoelectric detectors of optical radiation. The optical parameters of the SECNT were tested. The working wavelength range was found to be 500-8000 nm. The maximum photosensitivity of the SECNT reached 0.7 mA/W in the near-IR range of the spectrum. The time resolution of the sensitive element was no worse than 30 μsec.
