I am develloping a simple IR sensor and now I got a problem..
I am using a 5 mm IR photodiode, but I got a verry small signal. If i change to a 8 or 10 mm IR diode I got more signal. Who are making 8 or 10 mm IR diodes?
Changing from 5 mm to 8 mm will gain the area with more than 2 times (
64/25 ).

Benny
