The most commercially available are photoconductive cells, which are manufactured from cadmium sulfide (CdS), which is sensitive to light in the visible spectrum. Other materials that are less ...

Photoconductive detectors are thin-film semiconductor devices which undergo a change ... providing an economical means of obtaining high performance in a compact package. Infrared Materials offers ...

An interesting twist to the technique is that no additional materials are needed in the process. All you need is tellurite glass and a femtosecond laser to make an active photoconductive material.

Bellouard notes that the process requires no additional materials, only tellurite glass and a femtosecond laser are needed to create this active photoconductive material. The EPFL team ...
