How does a Photoresistor Work?

 In the laser infrared alarm, there is a photoresistor. What is it? How does a photoresistor work?

 

Photoresistor, also known as photoconductor, is made of special materials. Photoresistor is a special resistor made of semiconductor materials such as cadmium sulfide or cadmium selenide. Its surface is also coated with moisture-proof resin, which has photoconductive effect.

 

These materials have the following characteristics: Under normal conditions, they have a large resistance value. Under the irradiation of a certain frequency of light, the resistance value will rapidly decrease, so that the voltage at both ends will be reduced.

 

The working principle:

The working principle of photoresistor is based on the internal photoelectric effect, that is, the electrode lead is installed on both ends of the semiconductor photosensitive material and encapsulated in the shell with a transparent window to form the photosensitive resistance.

 

The photoresistor is a semiconductor photosensitive device. It has the advantages of high sensitivity, fast reaction speed, good consistency of spectral characteristics and resistance values. In addition, it can maintain high stability and reliability in the harsh environment of high temperature and humidity.

 

It can be widely used in camera, solar garden lamp, lawn lamp, cash detector, quartz clock, music cup, gift box, mini night light, acousto-optic switch, etc.

 

Senba Sensing Technology Co.,Ltd., a manufacturer of passive ir motion sensor, was founded in 2005, with the focus on producing the top quality photoelectric components, such as digital PIR sensor, Photoresistor and Light Sensor, etc. If you want more information about china infrared sensor, please feel free and contact us.

The Application of the Idr Sensor

1. Electronic photometry The photometer can be used to measure the brightness of people and objects, so as to help the photographer choose the appropriate exposure speed. The following is the schematic diagram of the electronic photometer. The ldr sensor  changes the intensity of light into the difference of resistance value, so that the brightness can be displayed directly by different currents flowing through the meter. Among them, R1 and R2 are used to adjust the surface calibration and W is used to control the sensitivity of the meter head. 2. Infrared thermometry The infrared light radiated by the measured object is modulated into 800Hz optical signal by a modulation disc with a filter, which is approximately sinusoidal wave. The modulated light entering into the idr sensor is converted into electrical signals and then sent to the FET amplifier for amplification. The output U0 can reflect the temperature. In order to reduce the influence of noise and temperature c...

Non Contact Thermometer

Non-contact temperature measurement solution The traditional body temperature measurement is a contact measurement using a mercury thermometer, which has the advantages of stable performance and small error, but has the disadvantages of long measurement time, high risk of cross-contamination, and easy to cause mercury poisoning due to glass breakage. Infrared ear thermometer is the most commonly used thermometer. N on contact temperature measurement sensors   can test body temperature with a slight amount of forehead or ear, and it can also prevent body infection. Infrared ear thermometer collects infrared radiation from ear cavity and tympanic membrane through infrared sensor. And converted into a digital signal, the main control CPU unit converts the digital signal into a temperature value and displays it on the LCD screen. Compared with mercury thermometers, infrared ear thermometers have the advantages of high precision, high resolution, fast measurement speed, easy op...
