# Radiometric optical power budget
# Scope: Photodetector current from supplied responsivity and incident radiant power.
# Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending.
# Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards.

power = 1 mW
responsivity = 0.5 A/W

current := responsivity*power [mA]

check detector current budget: current <= 1 mA

scenario alternative: power = 0.8 mW
