Abstract

We have developed a measurement system based on a correlation method to characterize the nonlinearity response of silicon photodiodes to pulsed-laser radiation at 193 nm. The method compares the pulse response of the device under test with that of a transfer standard whose response is linear over a limited energy range with reasonable uncertainty. Using a set of filters and proper data processing, the nonlinearity measurement spans several decades of photodiode output charge.
