CHARACTERISTICS OF A TRANSISTOR WITH OPTICAL COUPLING (DEVICE WITH OPTICAL-CARRIER MODULATION AND DEMODULATION),

Abstract

The characteristics of an optically coupled transistor, a device that uses a semiconductor light source and receiver to optically couple two circuits, were measured. A GaAs diode was used as the light source and a p-i-n diode as the light receiver in the device. Optical coupling was achieved with a fiber glass conductor, and all of the device parts were fitted into one capsule. The voltage-transfer factor of the device (at a temperature of 300K) was measured by using the circuit. The input voltage was measured with a VZ-3 voltmeter, and the output voltage was measured with V6-2 (up to 200 kHz) and V6-1 (from 200 kHz to 30 MHz).
