5、 Testing methods for phototransistors

1. Photocurrent testing

The photocurrent test is the most basic testing method for phototransistors, which can be used to detect the sensitivity and response speed of the device. During testing, shine the light source on the photosensitive area of the phototransistor and measure the output photocurrent. The magnitude of photocurrent is directly proportional to the intensity of the light source, and the sensitivity of the phototransistor can be tested by changing the intensity of the light source. The response speed can be evaluated by measuring the rise time and fall time of the photocurrent.

Photovoltage testing is a method of measuring the output voltage of a phototransistor, which can be used to detect the linearity and voltage gain of the device. During testing, shine the light source on the photosensitive area of the phototransistor and measure the output photovoltaic voltage. The magnitude of the photovoltaic voltage is directly proportional to the intensity of the light source, and the linearity and voltage gain of the phototransistor can be tested by changing the intensity of the light source.

3. Noise testing

Noise testing is a method of testing the noise index of phototransistors, which can be used to evaluate the signal-to-noise ratio and noise level of the device. During testing, shine the light source on the photosensitive area of the phototransistor and measure the output noise voltage or noise current. The magnitude of noise voltage or noise current is independent of the intensity of the light source, and the noise performance of the device can be evaluated by testing the noise level of the phototransistor
