Abstract :
Developments and some key problems in (Al,Ga,In)N-based UV and VIS photodetectors are briefly reviewed. Photodetectors´ response to high energy photons are described. Some applications of these photodetectors in biophotonics and combustion control are presented. It is concluded that the detectors´ performance are strongly linked to materials and processing progresses in such semiconductor alloys
