Photodiode with sensibility control using the gyration phenomenon

Abstract

Diodes with narrow sensibility band had been elaborated basing on birefringent and gyrotropic CdP2 crystals. The photodiode represent a semiconductor film in which two optic waves are propagating. The phenomenon and particularities of gyration influence the spectral characteristics of p-n photodiodes and Schottky diodes. This allows controlling the characteristics, presenting negative and positive dispersion values from λо wavelength, where the values of no, ne refraction indexes intersect.
