Abstract
Abstract A photoconductive structure includes first layers of a photoconductive material having one spectral response region and second layers of a different photoconductive material having a different spectral response region laminated one on another either alternately or in a predetermined order at least two times, the thickness of each layer being such that light penetrates therethrough, i.e., less than 2 Mu . Low-resistivity photoconductive materials can be used to provide multilayer structures having a high sensitivity to a predetermined range of wavelengths of light, for example, to the red-light region and a wide spectral region.
