Abstract
Free standing CVD-diamond films haw been used to realise simple position-se nsing detectors for ultraviolet radiation. It is shown that good detection can be achieved by proper design of the contact structure. Owing to the low absorption coefficient of diamond in the blue/near-UV spectral region, a ' semitransparent' photodetector is also proposed for use in a wide variety o f laser-based optical material treatment systems.
