2 unusual facts about photodetector


Bronx Library Center

Photocell sensors on the ceilings react to daylight levels and automatically change electric lighting intensities accordingly to save energy used.

Photofluorography

At the same time, the TV camera lens focuses the light to form an image on the TV camera photoreceptor where the image is transformed to a complex electronic signal and sent to the electronic image distributor.


Linear optical quantum computing

At its root, the KLM scheme induces an effective interaction between photons by making projective measurements with photodetectors, which falls into the category of non-deterministic quantum computation.

Nanorod

Recent years, ZnO nanorods have been intensely used to fabricate nano-scale electronic devices, including field effect transistor, ultraviolet photodetector, Schottky diode, and ultra-bright light-emitting diode (LED).
