释义 | photodiode A semiconductor diode used to detect the presence of light or to measure its intensity. It usually consists of a p—n junction device in a container that focuses any light in the environment close to the junction. The device is usually biased in reverse so that in the dark the current is small; when it is illuminated the current is proportional to the amount of light falling on it.
