Experimental Set-up
Circuit Design
The circuit consists of a simple potential divider, with a resistor and a photodiode. By exposing the photodiode to visual noise tags, such as the flickering of LEDs, the output voltage. The photodiode resistance is a function of light exposure. The resistance is reciprocally proportional to light intensity. The output can be observed on an oscilloscope to determine the performance of the photodiode.
Variables
The performance of the photodiode will be determined by varying the following parameters: 1. Wavelength of LED 2. Resistor in circuit 3. Frequency of blinking (1Hz - 100kHz)
The dependent variables that will be measured are: 1.
This will allow us to determine the following parameters: 1. Efficiency (Time decay) of photodiode at different wavelengths
