Definition: transducer that generates an electric output corresponding to the incident light

Note 1 to entry: Photoelectric transducers are divided into two groups according to their applications: 1) a photodetector that handles light signals, and 2) a photovoltaic power system, such as a solar battery, that responds to light energy. In the former case, sensitivity and response speed are important, while in the latter case, energy conversion efficiency is important. Classified by their operating principles, photoelectric transducers can be divided into a photoconductive type, typified by photoconductive cells and image pick-up tubes, and a photovoltaic type, typified by photodiodes and solar batteries.
