1913 H. S. Allen Photo-electricity x. 127 The proportionality factor between light absorption and photocurrent is only independent of the angle of incidence ϕ for an electric vector..vibrating at right angles to the plane of incidence.

1948 G. C. Higgins & T. H. James Fund. Photogr. Theory iii. 37 Under constant illumination, the photocurrent increases at first as the applied potential is increased and then approaches a maximum.

1974 Nature 26 Apr. 804/1 Light-induced release of protons might thus provide an alternative mechanism for generation of the photocurrents.

1992 Microelectronics Jrnl. 23 514/1 The two branches on the left-hand side of Fig. 3 provide the switching gate function for the positive output current which is produced by photocurrents and neuron currents of the same sign.
