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), ...
Photo Diode chip active area sizes from 0.1mm to 3.0mm are available to provide the optimum balance between low dark current, high speed and light sensitivity. This allows for increased flexibility ...
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 ...
The ODD-5W silicon PIN photodiode responds over a wavelength range of 400 to 1,100 nm. Measuring just 5 mm² it features an active-area diameter of 2.52 mm. Packaged in a TO-5 with a flat window, it is ...
There’s some interesting technology bundled into this energy harvesting wristwatch. While energy harvesting timepieces (called automatic watches) have been around for nearly 240 years, [bobricius] has ...
