ABSTRACT:
A photodetector using a modified gate controlled diode has therein a layer of photoactive material. Photons interacting therein cause the formation of free protons which alter the electrical characteristics of the photodetector. The change in electrical characteristics is measureable and related to the intensity of photons received.
