A photodiode has a quantum efficiency of 65% when photons with energy 1.5 × 10-19 J are incident on it. The photodiode operates at a wavelength corresponding to photons with this energy. An incident optical power of 3.85 mW is required to generate a photocurrent of 2.5μA from the photodiode operating under these conditions.
