The voltage across the diode lowers it’s capacitance.

Phil, thanks, that's nice one.

Have you perused Phil Hobbes web site, at http://electrooptical.net/ ?
A lot of cutting edge material.
There is a PPT there also,
Lecture slides: "Electro-Optical Kluges and Hacks: A Lab Rat's Guide to Good Measurements" (given at the University of Colorado, October 2nd, 2006.)

The PDF is great and everything looks fine and clear trough it. But there's slight problem - no circuit described in it works in way they described it. I've built them ALL.
