Tonight the IR photodiode was measured at producing 7.3 pA. The DC current steadily going down. If it goes below zero pA into a negative current then it means the photodiode is disturbed. I know from the previous long term experiment that this same photodiode without the load and just the capacitor slowly faded from ~ 10 mV down to ~ 1/2 mV in a matter of a month. Will the loaded/capacitor photodiode do the same thing, or is it just disturbed.
After we see what the photodiode is going to do, the next long term experiment will be to see how the photodiode does with a load without the 1uF capacitor. It's well know by conventional physics that capacitance removes a significant amount of ambient thermal noise from the resistor. Perhaps this is partially starving the photodiode.
