Global Photoelectric Detectors Industry Growth and Trends Forecast to 2031

Summary

A photodetector is a sensor that can sense light or other electromagnetic energy. It can convert photons into electric current, and the absorbed photons form electron-hole pairs. Photodetectors include photodiodes and phototransistors. Quantum efficiency is used to define the percentage of photons received by photodetectors on the light-receiving surface that are converted into electron-hole pairs. That is, the quantum efficiency is equal to the number of photogenerated electrons divided by the number of incident photons.
