Photoconductive gain of a longitudinal detector with an arbitrary absorption profile

It is shown that the photoconductive gain of a longitudinal detector is given by the ratio of the average carrier lifetime to the interelectrode transit time regardless of the absorption profile of the detector. Both corpuscular and macroscopic points of view are considered.
