Oct 31, 2020 at 9:20 comment added KalleMP Changing between photo-conduction and photovoltaic modes changes the transfer function and sensitivity a lot and may not be a practical option in all cases. The noise characteristics also change and may recommend a change one way or the other sometimes.
Oct 31, 2020 at 2:39 comment added The Photon Photoconductive will be faster (which probably doesn't matter in this application) but noisier. In my experience if an optical setup has temperature dependence, the first place to look is for physical motion of the optics coupling light into the photodetector.

Oct 30, 2020 at 23:47 comment added Cam.Davidson.Pilon Thanks for the suggestion, Tim. Can you explain why I want to use the photoconductive mode for this problem?
