Definition von photodiode im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
a semiconductor two-terminal component whose electrical characteristics are light-sensitive
A light-sensitive device made from the junction of two differently doped species of a semiconductor such as silicon Also known as a pn junction An internal electric field is generated at the junction of p and n type material Photons absorbed in the junction create electron-hole pairs which are separated by the field and create a current
A semiconductor diode that produces current in response to incident optical power and used as a detector in fiber optics
{i} light-sensitive semiconductor diode, rectifier containing a photosensitive semiconductor (Electronics)
A semiconductor diode that produces current in response to incident optical power and is used as a detector in fiber optics
A semiconductor diode that produces, as a result of the absorption of photons, (a) a photovoltage or (b) free carriers that support the conduction of photocurrent Note: Photodiodes are used for the detection of optical communication signals and for the conversion of optical power to electrical power
A semiconductor diode that is designed to produce photocurrent by absorbing light Photodiodes are used to detect optical power and for the conversion of optical power into electrical power
(in semiconductors) photodiode that uses the avalanche effect to increase the strength of a photocurrent signal and enable fast light-controlled switching operations, APD (Electronics)
