ABSTRACT:
An electronic device comprising a diamond illuminated with ultraviolet radiation, a light source for illuminating the diamond with visible light, and a means for measuring a photocurrent induced in the diamond. The ultraviolet radiation has wavelengths shorter than about 230 nm corresponding to the energy bandgap of the diamond and is made to impinge on the diamond. Then, the light which has wavelengths longer than about 230 nm is made to impinge on the diamond. The photocurrent induced in the diamond is measured. In this way, the amount of the previously emitted ultraviolet radiation having wavelengths shorter than about 230 nm is known. Although the diamond is a primary substance to be illuminated, the substance to be illuminated comprises a material selected from a group consisting of diamond, boron nitride, aluminum nitride and a multi-layer thereof.
