The photodiode is used to detect the optical signals. These diodes are preferably operated in reverse biased mode because :
Multiple Choice Options
- A fractional change in majority carriers produce higher forward bias current
- B fractional change in majority carriers produce higher reverse bias current
- C fractional change in minority carriers produce higher forward bias current
- D fractional change in minority carriers produce higher reverse bias current
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
A photodiode is reverse biased. When light falling on it produces charge carriers, the fractional change, in minority carriers is high since the original current is very small.
