Abstract :
Improved sensitivity is obtained by transversely magnetizing a photodetector comprising a section of waveguide partially loaded with a bulk photoconductor. The device performance can be predicted quantitatively with an approximation procedure that includes the effects of partial loading, magnetic field, and non-uniform (exponential) conductivity.
