Solutions Manual for Optoelectronics and Photonics: Principles and Practices S.O. Kasap 5 . 1 23 April 2001 Chapter 5 5.1 Bandgap and photodetection a Determine the maximum value of the energy gap which a semiconductor, used as a photoconductor, can have if it is to be sensitive to yellow light (600 nm). b A photodetector whose area is 5×10-2 cm2 is irradiated with yellow light whose intensity is 2 mW cm−2 . Assuming that each photon generates one electron-hole pair, calculate the n...
