Abstract
The photodetection mechanisms in GaAs MESFETs have been investigated by several researchers. Recently the authors have published an in-depth study of the MESFET as an optical detector under constant illumination involving both experimental and theoretical modelling. In this paper we discuss the compressive nature of that photodetection process. Experimental results involving constant illumination, modulated light and pulsed illumination verify the theoretical conclusions. Finally we present a suggested structure of an RF logarithmic amplifier based on the above phenomenon.
