This article makes semiconductor photodetectors sound much less significant than they actually are (gamma rays and x rays?). They are extremely important for fiber optical communications. My opinion is that photodetector should be expanded upon, and some of the information from this article should be in photodetector. --Rmalloy 02:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Alternative proposal: Rename this article to Semiconductor particle detector, and merge the content about photodetectors into the Photodiode article. This would seem to leave no place to talk about a semiconductor photodetector with no diode structure -- if there is such a thing, it could be covered in the main Photodetector article. -- The Photon 03:46, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

On second thought, I don't what I was talking about. I think this article seems fine. --Rmalloy 03:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
