STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Responsivity = Photo Current/Incident Optical Power
R = Ip/Po
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Responsivity - Responsivity refers to how a diode reacts to changes in an applied input signal, typically light or radiation in the case of photodiodes.
Photo Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Photo Current refers to the current generated in the PIN diode due to the light photons.
Incident Optical Power - (Measured in Watt) - Incident Optical Power is the total power of the light incident on the PIN diode.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Photo Current: 430 Milliampere --> 0.43 Ampere (Check conversion ​here)
Incident Optical Power: 2.56 Watt --> 2.56 Watt No Conversion Required

What is Diode Equation?

An equation describes the exact current through a diode, given the voltage dropped across the junction, the temperature of the junction, and several physical constants. It is commonly known as the diode equation. Because the diode current is proportional to saturation current, it follows that the current is also proportional to the junction area. The saturation current is very small and has a typical value.

How to Calculate Responsivity?
