1. In a photon energy detector, an oscillator for producing a cyclical output signal having alternate first and second half cycles, the oscillator including a timing circuit having a PIN diode and a PN diode, the PIN diode exhibiting a reverse leakage current responsive to the photon energy incident upon the diode, the timing circuit defining the duration of the first half cycles of the output signal as a function of the reverse leakage current through the PIN diode when photon energy is incident upon the PIN diode and as a function of the forward drive current through the PN diode when photon energy is not incident upon the PIN diode, and the timing circuit defining the duration of the second half cycles of the output signal as a function of the forward drive current through the PIN diode when the PIN diode has continuity and as a function of the reverse leakage current through the PN diode when the PIN diode does not have continuity, whereby the duration of the first half cycles of the output signal is responsive to the photon energy incident upon the PIN diode and the duration of the second half cycles of the output signal is responsive to the continuity of the PIN diode.
2. In a photon energy detector, a relaxation oscillator for producing a cyclical output signal having alternate first and second half cycles, the oscillator including a resistance-capacitance timing circuit for defining the duration of the first half cycles as a function of the current flow through the resistance in a first direction and for defining the duration of the second half cycles as a function of the current flow through the resistance in a second direction, the resistance including a resistive network having first and second legs connected in parallel, the first leg including a PIN diode and a first resistance connected in series, the PIN diode exhibiting a reverse leakage current responsive to the photon energy incident upon the diode, the second leg including a PN diode and a second resistance connected in series, the PN diode poled in the first direction and the PIN diode poled in the second direction, and the first resistance substantially less than the second resistance, the current flow in the first direction thereby primarily defined as a function of the reverse leakage current through the PIN diode when photon energy is incident upon the PIN diode and primarily defined as a function of the forward drive current through the PN diode when photon energy is not incident upon the PIN diode, and the current flow in the second direction thereby primarily defined as a function of the forward drive current through the PIN diode when the PIN diode has continuity and primarily defined as a function of the reverse leakage current through the PN diode when the PIN diode does not have continuity, whereby the duration of the first half cycles is responsive to the photon energy incident upon the PIN diode and the duration of the second half cycles is responsive to the continuity of the PIN diode.
