Photodiode
A photodiode is a semiconductor device that converts incident light into an electrical current. The VISHAY BPW34 is a high-speed silicon photodiode optimized for detection in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, generating a current proportional to the incident light intensity. It is commonly used in applications requiring fast, reliable optical detection and light sensing.
