Abstract
In the framework of the gravitational waves detector VIRGO, we are dev eloping the photo detectors system. The diodes we will use must satisf y at the same time quite unusual criteria, among them a good quantum e fficiency at a wavelength of 1.06 mu m and a good linearity at MHz fre quencies for an incident light power of 100 mW. We present here the te st method and the first very promising results we obtained towards the se directions with commercially available diodes in InGaAs.
