Abstract
An analysis is presented of important, often competing, variables in an optical to electrical (O-E) converter unit. One result describes the nonlinear dependency of output voltage as a function of capacitor load. The charging time as a function of photocurrent, cell saturation current, and load capacitor is illustrated. A particular system, the optically pulsed powered converter unit, is detailed as a design example
