P-I-N diode detectors for astronomical photometry.
The incident quantum efficiency eta(i)(lambda) and apparent noise input power (ANEP) were measured for two P-I-N photodiodes. Typical values at lambda8000 A are 0.68 x 10(-15) W and 3.3 x 10(-15) W, respectively. Several potential uses of this kind of detector for astronomical photometry and spectrometry are considered.
