Abstract
It is shown that the efficiency of metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) det ectors can be improved using a dielectric diffraction grating, positio ned appropriately above the detector. The grating has the effect that the light is channelled into the grooves between the metallic electrod es. In this way the efficiency is increased relative to a conventional MSM detector.
