Abstract
Detector uniformity is measured using a specially designed system which provides a small beam of laser radiation (at nominal wavelengths of 850 nm, 1300 nm, or 1550 nm) which is scanned across the detector surface. The resulting detector output response is displayed graphically and analyzed statistically. This information is useful for characterizing the quality of a detector and for identifying interference effects caused by, for example, windows with parallel surfaces. Other wavelengths are available upon request.
