Benzer Photoelectr. Effects in Germanium (U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Office of Publication Board PB 28644) 3 In exploring germanium samples for their rectification at different points, uncommon current-voltage characteristics are sometimes observed. There are two types which are of particular interest because of their sensitivity to light... K. Lark-Horovitz has given the descriptive names ‘photodiode’ and ‘photopeak’ to these characteristics. 1959 Control Feb. 95/2 It is a logical step from the photodiode to the p-n-p phototransistor. 1962 Jrnl. Optical Soc. Amer. 52 1237/1 Large-area photodiodes have been in use for a number of years as solar cells for the conversion of solar radiation to electrical power. 1971 Nature 20 Aug. 540/1 The photometers are protected from excessive light levels by protective photodiodes which disconnect the high voltage supply at times when the light level is above a minimum value. 1997 T3 Jan. 102/2 A CD player..reads the disc by shining a laser onto the surface of the disc and detecting whether the light is reflected onto the photodiode in the read head.
