The effect of injection current on transient photocurrent is studied in the case of arbitrary light absorption in space-time electro-optical modulator in the presence of charge carrier trapping. Photocurrent oscillations caused by the generation of alternating space-charge regions in the form of domains that move from the collector to the emitter, are found. It is shown that the injection current stabilizes an electric field on the emitter.
