What is the difference between photodiode and a solar cell? |
|
Answer» Answer: The PHOTODIODES have different CONSTRUCTION than a solar cell. Their construction is to maximize the PHOTOCURRENT and minimize the dark current and the noise created by the diode, while the construction of a solar cell is to maximize the conversion efficiency of the incident light. Additionally, photodiodes can be used in reverse biased direction that GREATLY improves their RESPONDING time. |
