Abstract :
Response times of light emission from a GaAs0.6P0.4electroluminescent diode have been measured for stepwise applications of voltage. Turn-on times decrease either with an increase of the steady-state level of current or with superposition of a dc bias voltage. The main features of the experiment are in reasonable agreement with those of the calculated curves based on an equivalent circuit with a depletion-layer capacitance and a voltage-dependent diode conductance.
