Abstract :
Output properties of Si based photovoltaic detectors were researched applying femtosecond pulses with different repetition rates. The output properties of these detectors with different load conditions were also researched. The linear response domain of PIN detector with external reverse bias voltage was found quite large for different femtosecond pulses repetition rates. The sensitivity of PN detector was found much higher when applying external reverse bias voltage with femtosecond repetition rate 76 MHz. The saturation effect of PN detector was attributed to the slow response speed of the photovoltaic detector.
