The 10 pages that link to Dark current, each with the reason it gives.

• Image sensorRelated: It adds unwanted signal and noise during sensor exposure, especially at long exposures or high temperatures.

• PhotodetectorRelated: Its fluctuations can obscure the weak signals a detector is meant to measure.

• Photomultiplier tubeRelated: It creates a background that limits detection of the weakest optical signals.

• PhotodiodeRelated: It sets a baseline that can obscure weak photodiode signals.

• Photoreceptor cellRelated: Light closes cyclic nucleotide-gated channels and reduces this current.

• PhototransductionRelated: Light reduces this baseline current by lowering cyclic GMP.

• Rod cellRelated: This current keeps rods relatively depolarized before light closes their channels.

• Avalanche photodiodeRelated: Avalanche gain also amplifies unwanted carriers that contribute to dark current.

• PhototubeRelated: It sets a baseline that can obscure weak photocurrents.
