Primary NIST publication record, 10 April 2009; abstract reports nonlinear silicon-photodiode response under pulsed illumination, including reverse-bias and illuminated-area dependence. First-author name Robert E. Vest is explicit. Used for the limitation of a linear charge-response model, not for numerical performance specifications.
Access note, 3 November 2026: the publication record’s Local Download led to an unrelated interferometer paper. Citations here use the verified publication-record abstract; that mismatched PDF is not a source for the photodiode results.
