Tests show commercial G1126-02 GaAsP photodiodes designed as ultraviolet detectors modified easily for use as x-ray detectors. Have quartz windows. When used to measure ultraviolet fluxes, windows or other apertures in optical paths covered with optical filters. To modify one of these photodiodes for x-ray application, one removes quartz window and replaces with aluminum foil, which blocks ultraviolet and visible radiation. GaAsP cells cost less than Si cells do and less damaged by radiation.
