<strong>Photodiode</strong> array<br />
Hundreds or thousands (up to 2048) photodiodes of typical sensitive area 0.025mmx1mm each arranged as a<br />
onedimensional array, which can be used as a position sensor. One advantage of photodiode arrays (PDAs) is that<br />
they allow for high speed parallel read out since the driving electronics may not be built in like a traditional CMOS or<br />
CCD sensor.<br />
