Abstract
An explanation is put forth for the observed nonlinearity in the red spectral region of the response of silicon photodiodes. Experiments are described to support the explanation; and the results, implications, and precautions indicated for the use of these diodes are given. Correlation of nonlinearity with spatial nonuniformity of response is demonstrated.
