Note 1. Radiation flux density (H) is equal to 0.5mW/cm2 emitted from a tungsten source at a color
temperature of 2780°K.
Note 2. For unsaturated response time measurement, radiation is provided by pulse GaAs (gallium–
arsenide) light emitting diode (λ 0.9µm) with a pulse width equal to or greater than 500µs,
IL = 1mA peak.
