  2. Light-dependent reactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-dependent_reactions

    Light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane. Light-dependent reactions are certain photochemical reactions involved in photosynthesis, the main process by which plants acquire energy. There are two light dependent reactions: the first occurs at photosystem II (PSII) and the second occurs at photosystem I (PSI).

  3. Photoresistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoresistor

    A photoresistor (also known as a light-dependent resistor, LDR, or photo-conductive cell) is a passive component that decreases in resistance as a result of increasing luminosity (light) on its sensitive surface, in other words, it exhibits photoconductivity.

  4. Photodiode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodiode

    A photodiode is often combined into a single component with an emitter of light, usually a light-emitting diode (LED), either to detect the presence of a mechanical obstruction to the beam (slotted optical switch) or to couple two digital or analog circuits while maintaining extremely high electrical isolation between them, often for safety ...

  5. Photophosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photophosphorylation

    This word is taken from two Greek words, photos, which means light, and synthesis, which in chemistry means making a substance by combining simpler substances. So, in the presence of light, synthesis of food is called 'photosynthesis'. Noncyclic photophosphorylation through light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane.

  6. Photosystem I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosystem_I

    Photosystem I (PSI, or plastocyanin–ferredoxin oxidoreductase) is one of two photosystems in the photosynthetic light reactions of algae, plants, and cyanobacteria. Photosystem I [1] is an integral membrane protein complex that uses light energy to catalyze the transfer of electrons across the thylakoid membrane from plastocyanin to ferredoxin.

  7. Light-emitting diode physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics

    In this case, most of the light can not escape and is lost as waste heat in the crystal. [1] A convoluted chip surface with angled facets similar to a jewel or fresnel lens can increase light output by distributing light perpendicular to the chip surface and far to the sides of the photon emission point. [5]

  8. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

    Light can be used to transmit data and analog signals. For example, lighting white LEDs can be used in systems assisting people to navigate in closed spaces while searching necessary rooms or objects. [100] Assistive listening devices in many theaters and similar spaces use arrays of infrared LEDs to send sound to listeners' receivers.

  9. Readout integrated circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readout_integrated_circuit

    If digital outputs are implemented, the IC is referred to as a Digital Readout Integrated Circuit (DROIC). Digital readout integrated circuit (DROIC) block diagram A digital readout integrated circuit (DROIC) is a class of ROIC that uses on-chip analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) to digitize the accumulated photocurrent in each pixel of the ...
