A solid state photometer.
Abstract
The solid state photometer uses a silicon P.I.N. photodiode in place of the more traditional photomultiplier tube for the light detecting device. Recent advances in the design and manufacture of photodiodes have improved their performance specifications to a level necessary for astronomical applications.
