Newport Introduces the Oriel IQE-200 for Photovoltaic Measurements
Irvine, CA - October 14, 2009 - Newport Corporation's Oriel® Instruments division announces the Oriel IQE-200(TM), the innovative instrument that permits simultaneous
measurements of both the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of solar cells, detectors, or any photon-to-charge converting devices. Newport's new IQE-200 integrated measurement system is an innovative, patent-pending design incorporating novel detector geometry which splits the beam, allowing for concurrent measurements.
The photovoltaic cell measurement system combines a rugged and durable Oriel light source, a monochromator, advanced sensor technology, and related electronics and software. The Oriel QE Commander(TM) software, pre-loaded on a PC, is designed to control all the components and accessories, providing a simultaneous, real-time readout of EQE and IQE in a single measurement with the press of one button. The preconfigured, calibrated assembly with 4-channel data acquisition for very rapid measurement is a turnkey solution. The AC measurements are performed in accordance with ASTM 1021-06 guidelines, offering reliable operation and easy installation with minimal setup time.
The cost-effective, Oriel IQE-AC-QTH-SI is the first product in the IQE-200 family of Newport-Oriel systems for measuring total solar cell quantum efficiencies. It is ideal for the measurement of silicon-based cells, both amorphous and mono/poly crystalline, thin film cells, copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS), cadmium telluride (CdTe), and more.
