Abstract

The effects of ac interference on the photovoltage of diodes are analyzed experimentally and theoretically. The dependence of the interference susceptibility on the power and wavelength of incident light is shown. The frequency dependence of the interference effect is also illustrated. A model of the interference path is proposed and verified. Under the assumption of a capacitive coupling, an analytic expression is obtained for the prediction of the AC-interference photovoltage of a p-n diode. Computed results and experimental data are presented. Methods for avoiding this interference are discussed
