WHAT DOES PHOTOCURRENT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Photocurrent

Photocurrent is the current that flows through a photosensitive device, such as a photodiode, as the result of exposure to radiant power. The photocurrent may occur as a result of the photoelectric, photoemissive, or photovoltaic effect. The photocurrent may be enhanced by internal gain caused by interaction among ions and photons under the influence of applied fields, such as occurs in an avalanche photodiode. When a suitable radiation is used, the photoelectric current is directly proportional to the intensity of the radiation.

Definition of photocurrent in the English dictionary

The definition of photocurrent in the dictionary is an electric current produced by electromagnetic radiation in the photoelectric effect, photovoltaic effect, or photoconductivity.
