The photoresistive properties and dynamics of ordered high-density arrays of germanium nanowire photoresistors is presented. Individual nanowires demonstrate a sufficient photocurrent to be used in the detection of high illumination intensity. The figure illustrates the photoconductivity measurement assembly.
