What are photodiodes, and how do they work?

What exactly are photodiodes? A photodiode is a photodetector element, which means an optical sensor that can convert an optical signal into an electrical signal. Our high-sensitivity, low dark current PN photodiodes are ideal for high-speed applications.
The silicon photodiode array is an optical sensor made up of several photodiodes arranged in a single package. It can be used in awide range of applications such as position detection, imaging, and spectrophotometry.
These elements can be applied in various sectors, including industry and aerospace; in particular, photodiodes are the flagship products among Optoi optical components for the Group’s long-standing Industrial division.

Special Detectors

We can realise special and customised components based on specific customer requirements. Encoder components without encapsulating resin provide superior robustness and are thus able to withstand thermal shocks.Features Resistant to soldering processes, MSL2 High uniformity of silicon cells (< 10%) Monolithic construction Low optical pitch (0.45mm) High temperature range Reference holes on the package for precise mounting Reference dots on the package for high accuracy mounting Reticle assembly service available

Phototransistors

Phototransistors are semiconductor devices that amplify the current generated by the photovoltaic effect using junctions; these optical components offer similar performance to the photodiode but are much more sensitive to light. Specifically, a phototransistor is a semiconductor device that can detect light levels and alter the current flow between the emitter and collector according to the amount of light received.Features High uniformity of silicon cells High temperature range High transparency resin High gain Designed to meet industrial specifications Reference holes for precise mounting Reference dots for very precise mounting
