Abstract:
The effect of illumination on the tensosensitivity of a $p$–$n$ junction is considered. It is shown that the tensosensitivity of an illuminated $p$–$n$ junction can be controlled by a constant deformation $\varepsilon_0$, the frequency of illumination $\omega$, and its intensity $I_0$. It is established that the absorption coefficient near the critical points can vary greatly under the action of deformation and, hence, the tensosensitivity coefficient of the $p$–$n$ junction can attain anomalously large values.
