Photodiode is a type of light detector capable of converting light energy into either current or voltage, depending upon the mode of operation. Photodiodes are similar to typical semiconductor diodes ...
Direct coupling is advantageous in many photodetector applications, such as viewing laser thresholds and modulation depth. I patented a very fast photodetector mount 1,2 in the early 1970s using these ...
What is a PIN avalanche photodiode (APD)? What is a PIN photodiode? How to characterize avalanche breakdown in GaN. Major differences exist between a PIN photodiode and an avalanche photodiode (APD), ...
Editor’s note: This article will be in two parts. Part 1 is component-related and Part 2 is applications. Please also see Planet Analog blog “LEDs Are Photodiodes Too” as an intro to this article.
