This invention provides a
photodiode current detection device and method with charge enrichment, enabling real-time acquisition and detection of both strong and weak signals. For strong signals, the real-time
photocurrent signal can be directly acquired; for weak signals, the
photodiode junction
capacitance is used as a charge storage device. By exposing the
photodiode to weak light for a period of time, the
photocurrent will integrate and accumulate on the junction
capacitance, resulting in a stronger accumulated
signal, which is then measured, thus achieving
weak signal detection. Applying this detection device and method to the
chemiluminescence reaction principle for NO gas detection, the charge enrichment mode for detecting low-concentration NO gas yields a high
signal-to-
noise ratio signal, improving sensitivity. The direct measurement mode for detecting high-concentration NO gas does not affect the upper concentration limit of
NO detection. The combination of these two operating
modes significantly improves the
detection performance and concentration range of the miniaturized NO
detector.
