Photodiode
A photodiode is a type of semiconductor device that converts light into an electrical current. It is composed of a semiconductor material, such as silicon or germanium, that is sensitive to light.
About
It is composed of a semiconductor material, such as silicon or germanium, that is sensitive to light. When light strikes the photodiode, it creates electron-hole pairs, leading to the generation of a photocurrent. Photodiodes are commonly used in a variety of applications, including in cameras, light sensors, and optical communication systems. They offer high speed, low noise, and a wide dynamic range, making them suitable for both low-light and high-speed applications. This Wikipedia page provides detailed information about the structure, operation, and applications of photodiodes, along with relevant theories and technologies.
