Advancing Space Technology: Reliable EUV Photodiodes For Space Applications

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) light, spanning wavelengths from 10 to 120 nanometers, is pivotal in understanding space phenomena and weather-related applications. Monitoring these wavelengths provides critical insights into solar activities like flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), impacting space weather and satellite operations. Such information is vital for maintaining precise GPS and satellite communication systems, designing resilient spacecraft, predicting geomagnetic storms, and understanding climate dynamics.

A key element in space-based EUV light monitoring is the photodiode, engineered to withstand the rigors of space and provide consistent, accurate measurements.
