The photodiode is used to detect the optical signals. These diodes are preferably operated in reverse biased mode because:
The photodiode is used to detect the optical signals. These diodes are preferably operated in reverse biased mode because:
Option 1 -
fractional change in majority carriers produce higher forward bias current
Option 2 -
fractional change in majority carriers produce higher reverse bias current
Option 3 -
fractional change in minority carriers produce higher forward bias current
Option 4 -
fractional change in minority carriers produce higher reverse bias current
