30. Tektronix recently changed the polymer filling in the P6245 probe to a transparent polycarbonate (they used black carbon additives in the past). That creates an effective Schottky barrier photodiode and some unexpected photoinduced signals might be observed unless the transparent part of the probe is thoroughly shielded.

36. At high light intensities, because of second-order recombination, signal increases less than quadratically with intensity. More dramatically, under these conditions, the decay kinetics shorten. At low enough intensities, the decay kinetics are no longer intensity dependent.
