Phototransistor – Construction, Working, Types and Applications

A phototransistor is a semiconductor device that combines the properties of a photodiode and a transistor. It is sensitive to light and provides amplified electrical output based on the light intensity incident on its base region. Phototransistors play a vital role in optoelectronic applications such as light sensing, encoders, switches, and signal transmission, owing to […]
