The current in the forward bias is known to be more (mA) than the current in the reverse bias (~ muA). What is the reason, then why photo diodes is to operate in reverse bias.

Answer»

SOLUTION : Even though the current in forward BIAS has a larger magnitude, the CHANGE, due to changes in light intensity, in the MINORITY carrier dominated reverse bias current, is more and is, therefore, more easily DETECTABLE.
