DESCRIPTION

BPW20RF is a planar Silicon PN photodiode in a

hermetically sealed short TO-5 case, especially designed for

high precision linear applications.

Due to its extremely high dark resistance, the short circuit

photocurrent is linear over seven decades of illumination

level.

On the other hand, there is a strictly logarithmic correlation

between open circuit voltage and illumination over the same

range.

Equipped with a clear, flat glass window, the spectral

responsitivity reaches from blue to near infrared.
