We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Niki, 

Thank you very much for you reply and puting the example's link. Sorry I didn't clarify my question better. Actually what I'm looking for is that how can I have a negative value of current of the PIN detector. For more expalanation, I can say that I am looking for the part of the detector spectrum in which we have negative current vs negative voltage. The other question I had is that, due to my understanding, we are having optical input and current as the output of the photodetector. I wanted to know that how can I have the voltage as an output of a detector instead of a current in INTERCONNECT. 

P S: I am using the same components available in the photodetector example. A CW laser, AM for the light modulation by an external electrical signal, ... . 

I would be more than happy if I can provide more information for better clarification. Thank you very much for your help!
