AB - We studied the lateral photo effect in CaAs/A1xGa1-xAs heterostructures both theoretically and experimentally. We observe a linear dependence of the photo voltage as a function of the position of the light spot. In our model this corresponds to a recombination length of the spatially separated electrons and holes longer than the length of the sample (1 mm). Deviations of this linear dependence are a direct indication of inhomogeneities in the conductive properties of the two-dimensional electron gas at the interface of the heterostructure. Results are shown in which long (1 mm) but very narrow cracks are seen. © 1989 SPIE.
