The two optoelectronic devices: - Photodiode and solar cell, have the same working principle but differ in terms of their process of operation. Explain the difference between the two devices in terms of (i) biasing, (ii) junction area and (iii) I-V charac (2024)

Why are photodiodes preferably operated under revise bias when the current in the forward bias is known to be more than in reverse bias?
The two optoelectronic devices: Photodiode and solar cell, have the same working principle but differ in terms of their process of operation. Explain the difference between the two devices in terms of.
(i) biasing,
(ii) junction area and
(iii) I-V characteristics.

What is optoelectronic junction devices? Write any two names of optoelectronic junction devices.

The curve represents the I−V characteristics of which optoelectronic device?

Draw the circuit arrangement for studying the V-I characteristics of a p-n junction diode (i) in forward bias and (ii) in reverse bias. Draw the typical V-I characteristics of a silicon diode.
Describe briefly the following terms :
(i) " minority carrier injection " in forward bias
(ii) " Breakdown voltage " in reverse bias.

Why is photodiodereverse biased, while solar cells which functions on the same principle of photodiode is not biased?
