Abstract

New relationships of displacement signal using four and only two opposite sectors on quadrant photodiode are derived. Sensitivity of position sensitive devices with quadrant photodiode is analyzed. The sensitivity is bigger for (1+1) than (2+2) configuration, for equal parameters. This is an important parameter in designing of command and control devices in laser guidance systems.
