  • Abstract
    The theoretical performance of dc- and microwave-biased extrinsic GaAs photoconductors is presented. The variables are the electrical bandwidth (1 kHz to 10 MHz) and the background photon irradiance (108 to 10/sup16/ ph/s˙cm2). Experimental results taken from the literature are compared to the theoretical values. It is concluded that the theoretical performance of a microwave-biased extrinsic GaAs photoconductor exceeds that of its dc-biased counterpart, particularly at wide electrical bandwidths and / or low backgrounds.
