Abstract
The effect of waveguiding property (i.e., the intensity distribution) of the photoreceptor on the number of photons absorbed in a photoreceptor has been studied. It has been found that the effect is significant only for large values of the exposure and the maximum effect is less than 11% in the case of human rod photoreceptor. In the analysis, the funnelling effect, which follows from the coupling between the interior and exterior fields, has not been considered.
