Manual Probe Station for Optical Characterization
MMP-ILS01

Manual Probe Station for Optical Characterization MMP-ILS01
 
 
This electrical and optical probing system is designed for wafer-level measurement of the optical characteristics of light-emitting devices, including LEDs, laser diodes, and VCSELs. While observing the wafer through a microscope, probe needles are brought into contact with the electrodes to supply current to the devices. The system comprises the microscope, probe station, photodetectors, optical probes, and other components needed for I-V, I-L, V-L, and spectral measurements.
 

■Features

  • High-resolution stereo microscope simplifies probing.
  • The optical fiber probe for spectral measurements can be positioned close to the emission point, enabling measurement of weak light.
  • Optical characteristics can be measured from both above and below the sample.
  • The manipulators have magnetic mounting plates and can be secured at any desired position on the ring plate.
  • A high-sensitivity camera enables real-time observation of light emission.
  • A lever allows the probe needles to be raised and lowered easily together with the ring plate.
