Abstract
A photovoltaic effect has been discovered at a contact between a semiconductor and biological origin materials. Photoelectrical properties of the new type structures have been investigated. Structures consisting of a semiconductor and materials of biological origin can be used as photovoltaic converters for natural and linearly polarized light. It needs for information transmission over distances, as well as for analysis of the polarization state of the laser radiation in communication systems.
