For sensors, robots and medical equipment: Frameless photodiode developed in Samara

The device is cheaper than foreign counterparts

A prototype of a frameless photodiode for use in the design of sensors, robots and specialized equipment has been developed at the Samara State Technical University (SamSTU). Previously, similar photodiodes were not produced in Russia. This was reported in the press service of the university.

A photodiode is an optical radiation receiver that converts light falling on its photosensitive area into an electric charge. Foreign receivers of this kind are quite expensive.

Frameless photodiodes are key elements of noise-protected measuring systems in which optical fiber is used instead of wires, and energy is transmitted using a light flux instead of electricity. The development will reduce their cost compared to foreign counterparts and expand the possibilities of application in industry.

Earlier www1.ru reported that an unmanned robot for milling - "Termit" - was developed in St. Petersburg.
