"However, I'd love to be proven wrong. Do you have any links to anything that shows that shining a laser on a semiconductor junction minimizes the capacitance variations?"I once had a transistor that was light sensitive. Seriously! When a customer would open up a telecom cabinent that contained the rectifier that it was in, the voltage out of a rectifier would mysteriously go up. Opening and closing, shading... led to that one transistor. Perhaps edge got a hold of a batch of them.
