The article discusses the difficulties that arise when measuring the speed parameters of modern broadband photodetector devices by a method based on the measurement results of the rise time of the transition characteristic are considered. As a solution of the described problems a method is proposed for quantitatively evaluating of speed parameters using the results of determining the impulse response of the studied photodetector. The source of the test signals is a pulsed fiber laser operating in the self-mode locking mode and generating ultrashort (about 3 ps) optical pulses. The article describes in detail the method itself, the measuring setup that allows it to be implemented, and presents some results of experimental testing of the method
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
