Application Field

PDB-C111 can be used in many different applications. In general, it can be used for light sensing, detection, and switching applications.

• Light Sensing: The PDB-C111 can be used for applications that require precise light sensing or detection. It can be used to measure the intensity of light, detect small motions, and measure the amount of energy in light, among other things.
• Detection: The PDB-C111 can be used in various applications that require detection, such as security systems, motion sensors, and distance sensors.
• Switching: The PDB-C111 can be used in optical switches and other similar applications, as it can detect light intensity and switch on or off accordingly.

Working Principle

The PDB-C111 is a silicon PIN photodiode, which means it uses a P-type Intrinsic layer and an N-type base layer. When light is incident on the P-type layer, it creates electron-hole pairs, which are then attracted by the electric field between the P-type and N-type layers, creating a current. This current is then collected by the N-type layer and can be measured and used to determine the amount of light present.

The sensitivity of the PDB-C111 is proportional to the incident light intensity, meaning it will detect more light when the light intensity is higher, and less light when the light intensity is lower. The device also has a fast response time, which means it can quickly detect changes in light intensity.

Conclusion

The PDB-C111 is a silicon PIN photodiode with a range of 400 nm to 1100 nm, making it a great choice for use in many optical applications. It has a high sensitivity and can quickly detect changes in light intensity. It can be used for light sensing, detection, and switching applications. All in all, it is a highly versatile and cost-effective solution for optical sensing needs.
