A fiber optic test system for quantum efficiency measurements

Pfeifer, Kent B.

A design for a photodetector quantum efficiency measurement test system is presented. The system hardware and control software are explained and the measurement theory is given. A brief discussion of the operation of the prototype is given. Finally, the article concludes with an example of a quantum efficiency measurement of a sample and a discussion of the errors involved in the measurement. 9 refs., 7 figs.
