% Photodiode bandgap.
This is the efficiency when exposed to monochromatic light in the
bandgap. At 0 deg-K the efficiency will be 1. Works for GaAs and Si.

Form:
eG = BandGap( T, s )
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
T (1,:) Temperature (deg-K)
s (1,:) Either 'silicon' or 'gallium arsenide' or
the data structure
.eG0 (1,1) Band gap at 0 deg-K (eV)
.alpha (1,1) Temperature coefficient (meV)
.beta (1,1) Coefficent (deg-K}
-------
Outputs
-------
eG (1,:) Bandgap (eV)
