Optical and Photo-Electrical Properties of Indium Antimonide

Measurements have been made of the refractive index and absorption index of InSb by reflection methods with polarized radiation. Extensive studies of absorption constant have been made by direct transmission measurements.

Both photovoltaic and photoconductive effects have been observed in InSb. At room temperature the photosensitivity extends to approximately 7.5μ, a considerably longer wavelength than for any other known material.
