The photodiode is a semiconductor device that converts light energy into electrical energy causes current flow. The current is generated when photons are absorbed in the photodiode. A small amount of current is also produced when no light is present. Features of Photodiode 5MM: Excellent linearity of output current as a function of incident light. Spectral response from 190 nm to 1100 nm (silicon), longer wavelengths with other semiconductor materials. Low noise. Ruggedized to mechanical stress. Low cost. Compact and light weight. Long lifetime. High quantum efficiency, typically 60-80%. No high voltage required. Applications of Photodiode 5MM: Cameras Medical devices Safety equipment Optical communication devices Position sensors Bar code scanners Automotive devices Surveying instruments IR sensor Also Searched as: Photo diode, Photo detector, photodiode sensor, silicon photodiodes, how photodiode works, reverse biased photodiode, photodiode operation.
