What is photo diode
• *Photo diode is device or diode that convert light energy to
electrical energy(current).
• *It is operated under reverse bias below break down voltage.
Construction
of photo diode
• *A photo diode
fabricated with a
transparent cover to
light to fall on the
diode & operated
under reverse bias.
Working of photo diode
• * When the photo diode is illuminated with light, with energy
greater than energy gap of the semiconductor than electron hole
pair are generated due to the absorption of photons these
change carries contribute of the reverse current.
V-I characteristics of
photo diode
• On increasing the
intensity, reverse
current also increase.
Dark current
• When the photo diode is reverse biased with a voltage less then
its braked voltage and no light is incident on it’s the reverse
current is extremely small current is called dark current.
Advantages and disadvantages
of photo diode
• Advantages
• Photodiode detector are high NIR sensitivity and high speed.
• Low noise
• Low dark current
• Disadvantages
• Normal PN junction photo diodes have very high response times.
• It has very low sensitivity
Applications of photo diode
1. In photodetection for optical signals.
2. In demodulation for optical signals.
3. In optical communications equipment.
4. In counting machines.
• Thank you
