Zs. Wu et al., PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY DECAY UNDER ILLUMINATION OF A PULSED-LASER WITH UNFOCUSED OR FOCUSED BEAM, Chinese Physics Letters, 15(6), 1998, pp. 447-449
Photoconductivity decay (PCD) in semiconductors is investigated by a p
ulsed laser with an unfocused or a focused beam. The rigorous solution
s of PCD under illumination with two different types of laser beams, u
nfocused and focused, are derived separately. The experimental results
of PCD are compared with the theory using Ge-based GaN under illumina
tion of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser at 355 nm. The experimental and numerica
l results are in good agreement.
