4 Measuring methods for photoemitters
4.1 Outline of the measuring methods
The LEDs and LDs have various opto-electronic properties. Some of them are important specifications for using them in the optical communication systems. The measuring methods for their opto-electronic properties are described in the following subclauses. Each subclause consists of following items.
a) Purpose
b) “Equipment setup” or “Circuit diagram” for measurement
c) “Equipment descriptions and requirements” or “Circuit descriptions and requirements”
d) Precautions to be observed
e) Measurement procedures
f) Specified conditions
4.2 Radiant power or forward current of LEDs and LDs with or without optical fibre pigtails
a) Purpose
To measure the radiant power Φ e or the forward current I F of light-emitting diodes (LED)
and laser diodes, with or without optical fibre pigtails, under specified conditions.
b) Measuring equipment
Figure 1 shows an equipment setup for measuring radiant power and forward current of LEDs and LDs.
c) Equipment description and requirements The radiation emitted by the device is submitted to multiple reflections from the walls of the integrating sphere; this leads to a uniform irradiance of the surface proportional to the emitted flux. A detector located in the walls of the sphere measures this irradiance. An opaque screen shields the detector from the direct radiation of the device being measured.
d) Precautions to be observed
The device being measured, the screen and the apertures shall be small compared to the sphere surface.
