  • Abstract
    An optocoupler can be used as a functional device indicating the current controlled-type negative resistance characteristic controllable with two external light intensities. A new type of light detecting circuit using the present function holds the ability to detect both the incidence of a light intensity and the small change from a fixed intensity level as a shaped pulse-light output with a simple circuit configuration.
