Visible and Infrared Light Detectors


Posted on Jun 4, 2012

The sensors used are silicon phototransistors and Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) photocells. Both of these sensors allow less current to flow when they are dark than when lighted. Phototransistors change their conductance while photocells change their resistance depending on the intensity of the light falling on them. All of the detectors on this page use LM339 Quad or LM393 dual voltage comparator integrated circuits to detect the change in voltage across the sensor. For information on Voltage Comparators please see the Voltage Comparator Information page at this site.
