Overview
About the SCS600
SCS600 measures EQE, IQE, IPCE and spectral responsivity and calculates short-circuit current density. Reflective optics limit chromatic changes in the measurement spot, with camera monitoring for alignment.
Bias light and electrical bias support device-dependent measurements. A glovebox accessory and a dedicated tandem-cell enclosure are available for experiments requiring controlled environments or selective subcell illumination.
Features
- Camera view of the illumination spot and sample
- Bias-light and bias-voltage measurements
- LBIC capability and AC/DC signal acquisition
Applications
- Photovoltaic spectral response and current-density calculation
- Tandem-cell subcell characterisation with suitable bias light
- Glovebox and vacuum-environment measurements with accessories
