Hi,

Does anyone know of a possible source for the (now discontinued)
photodiode BS100C - made by Sharp. I need some visible light
photodiodes, and these have exactly the right spectral response
(532-550nm).

Thanks,
Dave

That part of Sharp's website seems to be down for maintenance, but
wouldn't the BS100C0F be a cross?

Cheers

This is not just a photo diode, but a combination of a photo
diode and a high pass (IR blocking) filter to emulate the
human eye's response.
You may find other diodes with a similar (if not exactly the
same response, if you search for filtered diodes or visible
light diodes you may find other suitable choices.

Some possibilities BS120, BS500, BS520, PDV-V417, PDV-V418.
