The Ge detector is mounted on a 0.25”x0.35” ceramic wafer package with a 3” 30 AWG anode and cathode. The photodiode anode produces a current, which is a function of the incident light power and the wavelength. The responsivity ℜ(λ), can be read from Figure 1 to estimate the amount of photocurrent to expect.
