Question

Which of the following describes an optical property of a photodiode?

A.

The frequency at which its output reduces by 3 dB

B.

The gradient of its current-voltage curve at zero bias

C.

A measure of the sensitivity to light

D.

The response speed of the photodiode to light signals

Correct option is C

An optical property of a photodiode relates to how it interacts with incident light.The key optical parameter is responsivity, which measures: How effectively the photodiode converts optical power into electrical current The sensitivity of the device to lightMathematically:Responsivity=PhotocurrentIncident optical power\text{An optical property of a photodiode relates to how it interacts with incident light.} \\[6pt]\text{The key optical parameter is \textbf{responsivity}, which measures:} \\[6pt]\bullet \ \text{How effectively the photodiode converts optical power into electrical current} \\[4pt]\bullet \ \text{The sensitivity of the device to light} \\[8pt]\text{Mathematically:} \\[8pt]\text{Responsivity} = \frac{\text{Photocurrent}}{\text{Incident optical power}}​​
