Photovoltaic mode employs zero bias and minimizes dark current. The next article in the Introduction to Photodiodes series covers several different photodiode semiconductor technologies. In this article, we'll look at advantages of two types of photodiode implementation.
Photoconductive mode employs reverse biasing and provides higher sensitivity, wider bandwidth, and improved linearity. Photovoltaic mode employs zero bias and minimizes dark current. The next article in the Introduction to Photodiodes series covers several different photodiode semiconductor technologies.
Higher reverse-bias voltage leads to more dark current, so by using the op-amp to hold the photodiode at approximately zero bias, we virtually eliminate dark current. Thus, photovoltaic mode is good for applications that need to maximize low-illuminance performance.
The amount of dark current is kept at a minimum when operating in photovoltaic mode. Dark current is leakage current that flows when a bias voltage is applied to a photodiode. When operating in a photoconductive mode, there tends to be a higher dark current that varies directly with temperature.
“Zero-bias mode” is better, I think, because we can use the same TIA with the photodiode in photovoltaic or photoconductive mode, and thus the absence of a reverse-bias voltage is the most conspicuous distinguishing factor. The advantage of photovoltaic mode is the reduction of dark current.
A photodiode can be operated in one of two modes: photoconductive (reverse bias) or photovoltaic (zero-bias). Mode selection depends upon the application's speed requirements and the amount of tolerable dark current (leakage current). In photoconductive mode, an external reverse bias is applied, which is the basis for our DET series detectors.
