Responsivity
Responsivity
: In a
photodetector
, the ratio of the electrical
output
to the optical
input
.
Note 1:
Responsivity is usually expressed in amperes per watt, or volts per watt, of incident
radiant power
.
Note 2:
Responsivity is a function of the
wavelength
of the incident
radiation
and the bandgap of the material of which the photodetector is made.
