M. Constant et al., MODULATION OF LIGHT-INTENSITY EMITTED BY A LASER FOR STATIC CHARACTERIZATION OF A PHOTODETECTOR FOR A WIDE-RANGE OF INTENSITIES, Annales de physique, 20(2), 1995, pp. 81-83
The purpose of this paper is to study the static response of photodete
ctors on a large range of incident power levels in order to point out
saturation phenomena. After a description of the experimental set-up w
hich has been used, obtained results on photoconductors and Metal-Semi
conductor-Metal (MSM) photodiodes are presented and discussed in terms
of linearity of their performances.
