  • Abstract
    The use of photovoltaic diodes as logarithmic detectors has been investigated. An analysis of the response of the diode shows that the dynamic range of the device decreases with increased loading. Experimental measurements on diffused GaAs diodes, which have threshold sensitivities in the 1-10 nW/cm2range, confirmed this analysis.
