The response times of InP photoconductors under picosecond optical illumination are observed to differ widely depending on whether the electrical bias is dc or a short pulse. The use a pulsed bias gives a slower response (>100 ps) which is more characteristic of the intrinsic material properties, than a dc bias which gives a very fast (<15 ps) response and can be attributed to imperfect contacts.
