Abstract :
Bulk and surface-oriented GaAs and InP photoconductive detectors were fabricated for laser-plasma diagnostic purposes. Current-voltage curves, pulse-height spectra measurements using light pulses and α-particles as well as pulses from different lasers are used to compare the defectors. Preliminary results using X-ray pulses from laser plasmas are presented. InP detectors were of higher performance
