Spectral Response – Shedding Light on the Possibilities and Limitations of Optical Semiconductor Devices

What happens when optical signals are converted to electrical signals? Focusing on the optical to electrical conversion process, this webinar sheds some light on the basics of light interaction from reflection, transmission, polarization and refraction to absorption with semiconductors devices. It explores electrical fields, recombination and lifetime, doping profiles, band structures and pn-junctions to determine what happens when light has been converted into electron-hole pairs. This webinar provides a solid overview of passive and active optical sensor elements manufactured in a mixed-signal CMOS process or added during post processing
