When to Choose a Photodiode Over Other Light Sensitive Elements
When choosing a photodiode over other light-sensitive elements, there are several measurable and quantifiable factors to consider, including sensitivity, spectral response, response time, linearity, and cost. Photodiodes offer distinct advantages in many applications due to their superior performance characteristics. Sensitivity Photodiodes have a higher sensitivity compared to other light-sensitive elements, such as phototransistors. The sensitivity…
