In order to help his friend prepare for a talk at DEFCON this weekend, [Craig] built an IR photodiode amplifier circuit. The circuit extended the detection range of the hack from a few inches to a few ...

This Photodiode based Alarm can be used to give a warning alarm when someone passes through a protected area. The circuit is kept standby through a laser beam or IR beam focused on to the Photodiode.

Hamamatsu Photonics introduces a new Photonic Integrated Circuit (Photo IC), P13567-02CT, with applications as an optical moisture detector. This sensor integrates an InGaAs PIN photodiode and a LED ...

Marktech had revealed the latest in its line of sensors which combine many LEDs of different wavelengths with a photodiode. MTMD142345PDT38 has five LEDs at 1.04, 1.2, 1.3, 1.46 and 1.55μm, plus an ...

Lots of consumer electronic equipment like TV sets, VCRs, CD and DVD players employs infrared remote control. In some cases, it is desirable to extend the range of the available control and this ...

Imec, the nanoelectronics and digital technologies research hub, has announced the successful integration of a pinned photodiode structure into thin-film image sensors. With the addition of a ...

Silicon-based photodiodes are widely used due to their low cost, low noise, and compatibility with standard IC technologies. However, silicon has a bandgap of 1.12 eV—equivalent to a wavelength of ...
