Optoelectronic Integrated Circuit Evaluation
Application Notes
DC evaluation of optoelectronic IC’s/components
- An optoelectronic IC or component typically consists of an emitting device (like an LED) and photo detectors (PDs). This arrangement requires the simultaneous DC evaluation of both devices
- A pair of source/measure units (SMUs) is the ideal choice to make flexible DC measurements on both the LED and PD
- To illustrate this, two measurement examples of an off-the-shelf optocoupler are outlined in this document
