[QUOTE="Charles Link, post: 6384898, member: 583509"] See [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodiode[/URL] If you look at the I-V curve in this "link", you can see you get a linear response if you measure the photocurrent at or near zero voltage, as opposed to measuring the output voltage of the device. The op-amp current amplifier circuit is ideal for this purpose. To give you a little background info, individual photodiodes should still be commercially available that have areas nearly 1.0 cm^2. In many cases, they are now also manufacturing focal plane arrays for cell phone cameras etc. where they may put more than a million pixels inside an area of 1.0 cm^2. I think you would do well to work with a single photodiode before experimenting with focal plane arrays. [/QUOTE]
