In researching my latest article I ran across this paper about a “robust” photodiode amplifier (pdf). I use the scare quotes on purpose, since the whole article seemed a little fishy to me. The author ...

Follow these seven steps to successfully select a photodiode sensor and design an analog front end for a range of applications such as optical communications and light-based measurement ...

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

One of the nagging problemswith optocouplers is that theirlight output varies with temperature,age, and CTR (current-transfer ratio).Thus, you may need to calibrate optocouplersto compensate for those ...

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 ...

Mount a Photodiode to Maximize Speed (.PDF Download) Direct coupling is advantageous in many photodetector applications, such as viewing laser thresholds and modulation depth.

The team's tests showed that their proof-of-concept photodiode outperformed not only existing germanium photodiodes but also commercial indium gallium arsenide photodiodes in responsivity.

Imec, the Leuven, Belgium-based research and innovation hub in nano- and digital technologies, has announced the successful integration of a “pinned photodiode structure” in thin-film image sensors.
