  2. Photoresistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoresistor

    Three photoresistors with scale in mm Large CdS photocell from a street light. A photoresistor is less light-sensitive than a photodiode or a phototransistor. The latter two components are true semiconductor devices, while a photoresistor is a passive component that does not have a PN-junction. The photoresistivity of any photoresistor may vary ...

  4. Solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

    Diagram of the possible components of a photovoltaic system Multiple solar cells in an integrated group, all oriented in one plane, constitute a solar photovoltaic panel or module . Photovoltaic modules often have a sheet of glass on the sun-facing side, allowing light to pass while protecting the semiconductor wafers .

  5. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may vary from country to country, or engineering ...

  6. Photodiode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodiode

    Electronic symbol for a phototransistor. A phototransistor is a light-sensitive transistor. A common type of phototransistor, the bipolar phototransistor, is in essence a bipolar transistor encased in a transparent case so that light can reach the base–collector junction.

  7. Photoelectrochemical cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectrochemical_cell

    Photoelectrolytic cell band diagram. A (water-splitting) photoelectrolytic cell electrolizes water into hydrogen and oxygen gas by irradiating the anode with electromagnetic radiation, that is, with light. This has been referred to as artificial photosynthesis and has been suggested as a way of storing solar energy in hydrogen for use as fuel. [1]

  8. Opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator

    Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]

  9. Phototube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototube

    Two different types of phototubes. A phototube or photoelectric cell is a type of gas-filled or vacuum tube that is sensitive to light. Such a tube is more correctly called a 'photoemissive cell' to distinguish it from photovoltaic or photoconductive cells.
