Abstract

Photosensitive p-type CuInSe2/green leaf heterojunctions are fabricated. The photocurrent polarization indicatrix, as well as the spectral dependences of the quantum efficiencies for photoconversion and of the natural photopleochroism of the heterojunctions, are measured. The polarization dependence of the photosensitivity suggests that the upper valence band in CuInSe2 is of type G7. A window effect is observed in the sensitivity ratio and these heterojunctions may find applications as photoconverters for the intensity and polarization of light.
