Devices which detect and control light such as charge-coupled image sensors, LED lamps, and superconducting photodetectors

Subcategories

• Charge-coupled image sensors - or CCD sensors, a sensor which converts an optical image into an electronic signal by "shifting" the signals between stages within the device
• Integrated optoelectronics - the use of both electronic and optical signals in circuits
• LED lamps - a light-emitting diode lamp
• Light emitting diodes - a light source that comes from semiconductors that release energy in the form of photons
• Organic light emitting diodes - or OLED, an LED where the emissive electroluminescent layer is a film of organic compounds
• Photoconducting devices - devices which become more electrically conductive due to the absorption of electromagnetic radiation
• Photodiodes - a type of photodetector capable of converting light into either current or voltage
• Phototransistors - a bipolar transistor in a transparent case, which have a higher responsivity to light relative to photodioges
• Superconducting photodetectors - sensors of light that use superconductive materials
