This lecture covers the operation and characteristics of photodiodes, including photovoltaic and photoconductive modes, measurement methods, junction capacity, sensitivity, and noise analysis. It explains the impact of reverse voltage, depletion region, and circuit components on photodiode performance. The lecture also delves into the absorption coefficient, quantum efficiency, and avalanche effect in photodiodes.
