  • Abstract
    Impulse response measurements of photoconductors fabricated from Fe-doped, semi-insulating InP crystals are described. Results show purely exponential decay transients with decay times which are inversely related to Fe concentrations. Photoconductive gains as high as 5 have been demonstrated in photoconductors with AuGe and AuSn contacts. Response times from 150 to 1000 ps are Observed.
