photoconductive
Photoconductive refers to the property or characteristic of certain materials to change their electrical conductivity or ability to conduct electric current in response to exposure to light or other electromagnetic radiation. Increases in conductivity generally result from the absorption of the light, which generates charge carriers (either electrons or 'holes') within the material. Photoconductive materials are commonly used in devices like photodetectors, photodiodes, phototransistors, and photovoltaic cells.
