Construction of Photo transistor
• A photo transistor is
nothing but an ordinary
bi-polar transistor in
which the base region is
exposed to the
illumination.

Principle of Photo Transistor
• A photo transistor
provides larger output
current than that of a
photo diode for a given
amount of illumination
intensity.
• The device is embedded
in a clear plastic casing.
In general TO-type lens
package with a lens on
the top.
