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 ...

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 ...

Programmable photonics devices, which use light to perform complex computations, are emerging as a key area in integrated ...

Designing high-resolution detection circuits using photodiodes presents considerable challenges because bandwidth, gain, and input-referred noise are coupled together. This application note reviews ...

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

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 ...

This circuit was developed to aid manufactures of optical equipment in using linear detectors arrays with their optical setup without requiring specialised knowledge of electronics. These circuits ...

In this application note, the Alliance iS HPLC System with Photodiode Array (PDA) Detector is shown to separate and identify compounds, determine spectral purity, and visualize UV absorptive regions ...

Programmable photonics promises faster, more energy-efficient computing than electronics by transmitting signals using light.
