The elements topology is a Gray-code mask, which leads to the appearance of binary four-digit code signal at the output of the device provided with correspondent outer electronics when input optical signal has a form of a strip. The device's features are: large photosensitive area of about 60 mm<sup>2</sup>, extended spectral response interval (comparing with existing silicon Gray-code photodiodes) up to 0,8&  1,55 јmm. </B></I></P> <P> <CENTER><A HREF="03-6-e.htm"><IMG BORDER=0 SRC="back.gif"></A> Contents</CENTER> </BODY> </HTML>
