Recycling methods detectors used

Since the stmctures and processes used for detector enhancement are interconnected, it often occurs that an approach introduced because of one effect also brings to an improvement of another one. A typical example can be found with methods for optical trapping that were introduced to improve the optical path through the detector (absorption coeflhcient-thickness product), to turn out that these methods not only improve radiative lifetime through photon recycling but even Auger and Shockley-Read lifetimes due to a decrease of overall dimensions of the detector.
