The authors investigate the fast and slow components of the relaxation of the photoconductivity in single crystals of Bi/sub 12/SiO/sub 20/ (BSO) in relation to the intensity and spectral composition of the radiation incident on the specimen. The BSO crystal was illuminated by a He-Ne laser. A typical relaxation curve is shown of the photoconductivity when the specimen is illuminated with the whole light of an incandescent lamp, and also when the specimen is illuminated with red light from a He-Ne laser. Also presented are the dependences of photocurrent in the frequency of modulation of light for illumination by light of various spectral composition.
