In order to help his friend prepare for a talk at DEFCON this weekend, [Craig] built an IR photodiode amplifier circuit. The circuit extended the detection range of the hack from a few inches to a few ...

Photodiodes are used in a wide variety of applications to transform light into a current or voltage. These range from solar cells to optical data networks, from precision instruments to chromatography ...

In this section we shall discuss the interface between a photosensor and its associated electronics. There are really just two photocell applications – light measurement, and the reception of ...

Researchers developed a single photodiode sensor that detects full-color light using perovskite materials, impedance data, and machine learning algorithms. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Conventional ...

Abstract: In order to keep photodiode signal conditioning circuit could response to the very short pulse when projectiles cross the light mesh, the bandwidth of conditioning circuit should be ...

Powerful, inexpensive and even flexible when they need to be, organic photodiodes are a promising alternative to silicon-based photodetectors. They are used to improve light sensitivity in cameras and ...

Anti-Theft Security Alarm This is a simple infrared (IR) based security alarm designed to detect when a door or entryway is open. The alarm triggers a buzzer to sound when the IR light beam is broken.
