App Note: Sensitive EQE Characterization for Solar Cell and Photodetector Devices

Sensitive EQE Characterization for Solar Cell and Photodetector Devices

An efficient new approach to sEQE spectroscopy

In this application note, we demonstrate a new approach to sensitive external quantum efficiency (sEQE) characterization as a means to measuring the lowest EQE values possible for organic solar cell and photodetector technology research. We specifically discuss:

  • Conventional instrumentation used for an sEQE measurement
  • The alternate approach, which employs a synchronous source measure system set up to perform  DC I-V sweeps and lock-in detection of a device's induced AC photocurrent
  • The results of an sEQE measurement performed on a C60:ZnPc organic solar cell device using our M81-SSM platform
