A photodiode converts light into energy through a photodetector and can be triggered by UV or X-rays. It works on a PIN or PN connection structure, creating a photocurrent that powers electrical devices. Photodiodes can be used in photovoltaic or photoconductive modes for various applications. A photodiode is an electrical device used to detect and […]
Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) convert light into electrical signals, useful in fiber optic communication, rangefinders, and photon counters. APDs consist of crystalline silicone layers and can vary in size and type based on the wavelength of light. They are often used in laser sensors, hazard warning systems, and distance measuring systems. The reverse bias voltage must […]
