Abstract
UV irradiation of a commercial photodiode array using low intensity 25 3.7 nm radiation leads to a permanent linear increase in the dark curr ent and a deterioration in the detectability limit of the device. Cons iderable modification of the temperature dependence of the dark curren t of the device is also observed.
