Detector Responsivity Measurement System

Photodetector is the sensor that could convert the optical radiation signal to the electrical signal, which is made from photoemission material. Most of the photodetectors have strong spectral selectivity in a certain Spectrum area. Therefore, for one photodetector, different wavelengths have different spectral responsivity. The spectral responsivity is an important parameter index for characterizing the photodetector performance. And for the photoelectric material researching, the effect of some characteristics of the material itself such as doping density, lattice imperfection, absorption coefficient and minority carrier diffusion length on the photoelectric response capacity and the quantum efficiency could be obtained by measuring and analyzing the spectral responsivity data. That is very important and helpful for choosing better material and processing improvement.
