Acoustic readout of charge storage on GaAs

Abstract
We show that surface acoustic waves on GaAs can be used to read the amount of charge stored on an isolated Schottky barrier. This charge can be controlled by the light intensity which illuminates a given electrode and our technique allows one to monitor this light intensity. We propose that the effect can be used in a panel array suitable for imaging.
