When the topic is radiation detection, thoughts turn naturally to the venerable Geiger-Müller tube. It’s been around for ages, Russian surplus tubes are available for next to nothing, and it’s easy to ...

The photodiode and detector control the capacitive discharge ignition system for the engine. The photodiode emits light at a single frequency. When this light is reflected from a coupon attached to ...

Photodiode is a type of light detector capable of converting light energy into either current or voltage, depending upon the mode of operation. Photodiodes are similar to typical semiconductor diodes ...

The circuit of Figure 1 includes a PIN photodiode that detects individual photons of gamma radiation. The reverse bias on the photodiode sometimes creates a depletion region. When such a photon ...

Marktech’s new 2.6µm InGaAs photodiode detectors in a hermetic TO metal can packages The spectral responsivity of Marktech's new 2.6µm InGaAs photodiodes Marktech Optoelectronics a Leading ...

Recent advances in light management by various types of nanostructure 1 have gained much attention in optoelectronic and photonic applications. A good example is advanced light trapping by ...
