Quantum efficiency measurement station

PVE300 from Bentham

Apart from IV curves, the most important measurement on solar cells is that of the quantum efficiency or quantum yield, respectively. Our PVE300 system from Bentham is suited for all types of cells. It is based on a tunable, monochromatic xenon/halogen dual light source. The correct source is automatically chosen via a motorized mirror: xenon for the UV-VIS and halogen for the VIS-NIR range. Thanks to its modular design, PVE300 can easily be fitted to customer-specific applications.
