photodiode [ˌfəʊtəʊˈdaɪəʊd]

(Electronics) a semiconductor diode, the conductivity of which is controlled by incident illumination

photodiode (f

-d

)

A diode that exhibits sensitivity to light, either by varying its electrical resistance like a photoresistor, or generating a electric potential in the manner of a photoelectric cell. See more at photoelectric.

How to Design a High Performance Optical Receiver? by Colin Yao / Computers and Internet community The thin-film transistor and an external voltage can be used as a switch to permit the charge to flow from the silicon photodiode when a readout is desired (other combinations of charge storage devices and switches can be used).
