Photodiode Test Using the Keysight B2980C Series
应用文章
Photodiodes (PDs) are semiconductor devices that convert light into current, making them useful in optical communication, light detection, and consumer electronics applications. The Keysight B2980C series Femto/Picoammeters and Electrometers/High Resistance Meters offer precise current measurement down to 0.01 fA and voltage sourcing up to 1,000 V, enabling comprehensive PD evaluation. The application note explains how to perform PD dark current measurements and synchronize the B2980C series with other instruments for Light-Current-Voltage (L-I-V) sweep tests.
