An improved photodiode detector shielding apparatus and method are provided which shield a photodiode detector from electromagnetic interference and ambient light, without affecting the wavelengths of light that reach the photodiode. The improved photodiode detector shield has two layers. A bottom layer is substantially made from an electrically conducting material and is fixed over a photodiode in order to shield it from EMI and ambient light. A top layer is substantially made from a lustrous, shiny, reflective material that reflects an equal amount of light across a band of wavelengths. Both layers have areas with optically transmissive openings, which are aligned to allow for the unobstructed passage of light of a band of wavelengths to the photodiode. Light within a band of wavelengths is evenly reflected off the top of the first surface and also reaches the photodiode. In this regard, the detector shield blocks EMI and ambient light without affecting the wavelengths of light desired to reach the photodiode.
