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