Both of these results are promising for better performing devices, but before such a device can be built, one must have a quantitative model that can exactly compare these two effects. A great significant challenge stems from the fact that both the photoconductive and the bolometric effect will be competing against one another; thus potentially making the device non-ideal. Carefully biasing the bilayer graphene via top and bottom gates could be one way to avoid such a problem. Also, simply increasing the temperature to the range of ~\(~10K\) while biasing the sample should make the photoconductive effect overtake the bolometric effect.
