% Photodiode bandgap. This is the efficiency when exposed to monochromatic light in the bandgap. At 0 deg-K the efficiency will be 1. Works for GaAs and Si. Since version 8. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Form: eG = BandGap( T, s ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Inputs ------ T (1,:) Temperature (deg-K) s (1,:) Either 'silicon' or 'gallium arsenide' or the data structure .eG0 (1,1) Band gap at 0 deg-K (eV) .alpha (1,1) Temperature coefficient (meV) .beta (1,1) Coefficent (deg-K} ------- Outputs ------- eG (1,:) Bandgap (eV) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reference: B.
