Anything about photodiodes, a particular type of semiconductor diode sensible to light radiation.

Photodiodes are used as detectors and sensors for IR, visible and UV radiation. They are usually based on a PN-junction structure or a PIN-structure.

A common application is at the receiving end of an IR communication link, like the one established by a TV remote control. The photodiode acts as a photoelectric transducer, converting the IR pulses transmitted by the remote into electrical signals that the TV set can interpret as commands.

Q&A Choosing between common-drain JFET amplifier, and common-source

Do common-source JFET amplifiers have an advantage over common-drain? The JFET would be in a low noise photodiode amplifier. The signal is 100us pulses with 10us raise times. Here are the schema...
