The circuit of Figure 1 includes a PIN photodiode that detects individual photons of gamma radiation. The reverse bias on the photodiode sometimes creates a depletion region. When such a photon ...
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 ...
Optical systems have many unique attributes that make them useful for range detection and communications, but often the optical signal needs to be converted to an electrical signal as part of the ...
