APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Photoelectric Detectors
A photodetector is a sensor that can sense light or other electromagnetic energy. It can convert photons into electric current, and the absorbed photons form electron-hole pairs. Photodetectors include photodiodes and phototransistors. Quantum efficiency is used to define the percentage of photons received by photodetectors on the light-receiving surface that are converted into electron-hole pairs. That is, the quantum efficiency is equal to the number of photogenerated electrons divided by the number of incident photons.

Market perspective
A photodetector is a sensor that can sense light or other electromagnetic energy. It can convert photons into electric current, and the absorbed photons form electron-hole pairs. Photodetectors include photodiodes and phototransistors. Quantum efficiency is used to define the percentage of photons received by photodetectors on the light-receiving surface that are converted into electron-hole pairs. That is, the quantum efficiency is equal to the number of photogenerated electrons divided by the number of incident photons.
Photoelectric detectors are mainly divided into three types: photodiodes, phototransistors and others. Among them, photoelectric detectors are the main types of photodetectors. The Photoelectric detectors is used to detect continuous light or continuous light. Other types of photodetectors can be used to detect pulsed light as opposed to continuous light. This photodetector can also be used to assist in calculating the number of photons, etc., and has been widely used in many fields. From a global perspective, Japan is the largest production area, and the main production companies Hamamatsu and ROHM are concentrated in this area. The output value of Japan in 2019 is accounting for 33.12% of the world's total, followed by Europe, with major manufacturers such as Osram Opto Semiconductors and First Sensor.
