Recent investigations showed that the THz photoresponse of quantum Hall systems (QHS) is a complex combination of different mechanisms. In this work, we separate these parts by varying the electron concentration and the source–drain current. For our photoconductivity measurements, we used a pulsed p-Ge cyclotron laser as a monochromatic THz radiation source and changed the magnetic field, the source–drain current and the electron concentration (via a backgate) of the QH sample. The spectral resolution of the QHS was found to improve with increasing values of the source–drain current up to the breakdown of the QH effect.
