Samples of single crystal, n-type, 100 ppM Te-doped CdS (CdS:Te) exhibit two emission bands when excited at several ultraband wavelengths. When CdS:Te was used as the photoanode in a photoelectrochemical cell employing sulfide electrolyte, both emission bands were quenched in parallel during passage of photocurrent resulting from 457.9 or 476.5 nm Ar ion laser excitation. The existence of excited state communication is inferred from the effects of temperature and electrode potential on multiple emission.
