Abstract
The effect of signal-modulated optical radiation on the characteristics of a GaAlAs/GaAs MODFET has been studied analytically. It is found that the offset voltage increases with modulation frequency and the effect of frequency is negligible above 5 MHz. The drain-source current decreases with increase in signal frequency at a constant radiation flux density, doping concentration and drain-source voltage. Studies on sheet concentration and transconductance also show that the signal frequency has a significant effect upto a certain modulation frequency (≲5 MHz) above which the effect of frequency is insignificant.
