Abstract: A photodiode array is disclosed and comprises a first photodiode comprising a first set of spatially separate and electrically interconnected photodiode segments. A second photodiode comprises a second set of spatially separate and electrically interconnected photodiode segments. A first group of photodiode segments comprises photodiode segments from the first and/or second set of photodiode segments. The photodiode segments from the first group of photodiode segments are radially arranged around a common center of symmetry in a common first distance with respect to the common center of symmetry. A second group of photodiode segments comprises photodiode segments from the first and/or second set of photodiode segments. Photodiode segments from the second group of photodiode segments are radially arranged around the common center of symmetry in a second common distance with respect to the common center of symmetry, wherein the first distance is different from the second distance.
