Optical sensors, also known as photon sensors, are devices which utilize optical properties to measure signals or detect changes in a given environment. Phototransistors, in particular, are a type of optical sensors that are used to detect light. The working principle of phototransistors involves utilizing the photovoltaic effect, in which a voltage is generated when certain materials are exposed to light. The two most commonly used phototransistors are the PT15-21C/TR8 and the PN2222A.The PT15-21C/TR8 is a small, NPN silicon phototransistor. It is constructed of two layers of silicon placed together back-to-back, with the back layer forming the base and the front layer forming the emitter. The emitter layer is a p-type material and the base layer is an n-type material. When exposed to light, the base layer will be positively charged due to the photovoltaic effect, which will activate the transistor.The PN2222A is also an NPN silicon phototransistor, but it has a different structure. It consists of a single n-type layer of silicon that is sandwiched between two p-type layers. The base layer is the p-type material, and the emitter is constructed of both p-type layers. When exposed to light, the extra p-type layer causes the base layer to be positively charged, and this will activate the transistor.The most common application field for phototransistors is in light sensing. PT15-21C/TR8 and PN2222A phototransistors are particularly suited for this as they are very sensitive to light and have very fast reaction times. They can be used in many different light-sensing applications, such as detecting changes in light intensity, as well as detecting ambient light levels. Phototransistors can also be used in optical communication applications, where the transmitted light is detected by the phototransistors and converted into an electrical signal which can be processed by circuitry.In addition to light sensing, phototransistors can also be used in temperature-sensing applications. The voltage generated by the phototransistors can be used to measure the temperature of an environment. This is usually done by connecting the phototransistors to an integrated circuit that is capable of measuring the voltage generated by the phototransistors.While phototransistors are mainly used in light and temperature-sensing applications, they can also be used in many other applications. They can be used to detect the presence of objects by sensing changes in reflected light levels, or they can also be used to detect changes in magnetic fields. They can also be used to detect changes in sound levels.In summary, the PT15-21C/TR8 and PN2222A phototransistors are two very useful and versatile types of optical sensors. They are used in a wide range of applications, from light sensing to temperature sensing, and from magnetic sensing to sound sensing. These phototransistors are very sensitive and have fast response times, making them well suited for a wide range of applications.
