PDB-C158

Photodetectors are optical sensors that convert the light energy from a beam of light into an electrical signal. Photodiodes are a type of photodetector which use the photoelectric effect to generate electric current when light is incident upon the diode. The PDB-C158 is a positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) photodiode which utilizes the photoelectric effect in order to detect a light beam and convert it into a current or voltage signal. It is a kind of shelf device that does not require any special processing for application.

The PDB-C158 is usually used for various light sensing applications. This includes applications where there is a need to measure low levels of light, such as solar energy monitoring, photometry, radiometry, and photometric measurements. It can also be used for ultraviolet light application measurements. Furthermore, the PDB-C158 is also used for optical communications systems, optical switches, and optical backplanes.

The working principle of the PDB-C158 is based on the movement of minority carriers in a semiconductor material when light is incident upon the surface of the semiconductor. The PDB-C158 comprises a PIN photodiode which is connected to the anode and cathode of a diode circuit. The diode is reverse biased, and when light is incident upon the diode, electrons are released from the anode side of the diode and are drawn towards the negative voltage on the cathode side of the diode. This current is then measured and used as a signal for the application.

The PDB-C158 has a very wide spectral response ranging from 250 nm to 1200 nm, and with a band gap of 1.8 eV, it is ideal for detecting ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelengths. Furthermore, the diode has exceptional reverse bias stability and low dark current, which make it suitable for long duration, low light measurement applications. The diode also exhibits low noise and modest leakage current, therefore making it highly reliable for light-sensing applications.

The PDB-C158 can detect light over a very wide range of wavelengths and is highly reliable. Its wide spectral response and low dark current make it an ideal detector for a variety of applications. Furthermore, its small size and low cost make it a popular choice for many light sensing applications.
