The effect of back illumination with improved optical absorption has been a
nalyzed for an ion-implanted GaAs OPFET considering Pearson IV distribution
of impurities. Plots have been made for two photo voltages developed acros
s the substrate active layer junction and the Schottky junction. The drain-
source current is significantly enhanced for the device when the fiber is i
nserted up to the active layer substrate junction than the case where finit
e substrate effect is taken into account.
