Photo diode ppt

Analog Electronics ppt on Photo Diodes and LED by Being topper. APPLICATIONS PIN photodiode most widely used Audio CD players DVD players Computer CD drives Optical communication systems Nuclear radiation detectors APD level of gain is of importance for high voltage requirement. Laser range finders fast receiver modules for data . Kristin Ackerson, Virginia Tech EE. They are constructed so their pn junction can be exposed to the outside through a .

Defination operation materials characteristics types uses applications references.

Negative electrons move one way and positive holes move the other way.

Phototransistors are photodiodes with some internal amplification. Note: Reverse current flows through the photodiode when it is sensing light. The sensitivity depends on the wavelength of light.


Silicon photodiodes are semiconductor devices responsive to high- energy particles and photons. The PIN diode comprises of three regions, namely P-region, I -region and N-region. Photodiode Characteristics and Applications.


The intrinsic region in the diode is in . Diode detector (P- type, N-type) 3. This increases the volume where electron-hole pairs can be generated by an incident photon. ANL Photocathodes Growth and Activation Facility and Module. Optical Diodes There are two popular types of optoelectronic devices: light- emitting diode (LED) and photodiode. The schematic symbol and construction . Photo-generation is initiated via the presence of . One of the major differences between the photodiode and the photo-transistor is that the photodiode uses PN-junction diode which converts the light energy into an electric current, whereas the phototransistor uses the ordinary transistor (NPN transistor) for the conversion of light into the current. Avalanche photodiodes are commonly used as detectors for low energy x-rays.


The use of this technique in an improvement of the energy resolution . OPTICAL SOURCES: Optical Source find applications in the area of medical, automotive, analytical equipments, communications and industry. Tungsten, Deuterium, Mercury, Hollow Cathode Lamp.
