Yun I. (Ed.) Photodiodes from Fundamentals to Applications

2nd Edition. — ExLi4EvA, Croatia, 2016. — 376 p. — ISBN10: 953-51-0895-6.This book represents recent progress and development of the photodiodes including the fundamental reviews and the specific applications developed by the authors themselves. The key idea of this book is that it allows authors to deal with a wide range of backgrounds and recent research progresses in photodiode-related areas.
Most of the material in this book was developed for the researchers in the field of optical or optoelectronic devices and circuits. A substantial proportion of the material is original and has been prepared by the authors of each book chapter specifically for this book. With respect to the original collection of the book chapters, this book contains several improvements and several new problems and related solutions are also discussed in the area of fundamental
physics and characteristics, and the device and the circuit applications.Fundamental Physics and Physical Design
