LIV Testing

LIV testing is a key step in determining the functionality of laser diodes, LEDs and LIDARs.

Pulsed Sweep

With pulsed sweeps, the current amplitude is increased in steps and voltage or other measurements are made at each step. With pulsed sweeps, device heating is reduced and cumulative heating may be avoided. With pulsed sweeps, high power devices may be tested without the need for active cooling.
