Question

for second part options are: less stray light, higher signal-to-noise ratio, more rugged, better resoltuion and wavelength accuracy

Label the components in the cross-sectional diagram of a photodiode array shown below. Light SiO2 p-type Si Heavily doped layer n-type Si n-type Si Depletion 25 um region Incorrect The substrate of the photodiode array is composed of n-type Si. Which of the following are advantages to using a photodiode array spectrophotometer for spectral acquisition instead of a dispersive spectrophotometer?

Explanation / Answer

In the cross section diagram of photo diode, both the ends will have a cathode and the anode occupies the middle part. The shield above the cathode will have metal light shield. The rest part of the region is filled with depletion region.

The advantages of the photo diode are,

Higher signal to noise ratio, more rugged, accurate wavelength and better resolution.
