[0050] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a circularly polarized electroluminescent device performance test system, which comprises an electrical performance measurement module 1, an optical performance module 3 and a test terminal 4.

[0051] The electrical performance measurement module 1 comprises a source table 101 and a device clamp 102 for clamping a circularly polarized electroluminescent device (not shown in the figure), and the two sides of the source table 101 are connected with the circularly polarized electroluminescent device and the test terminal 4 respectively. The source table 101 is used for continuously providing the circularly polarized electroluminescent device with electrical signals required for testing, and making the circularly polarized electroluminescent device emit divergent light photons, and is also used for transmitting the electrical signals to the test terminal 4.

[0052] The source table 101 can accurately control the intensity and stability of the provided electrical signals to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results. The device clamp 102 stably clamps the circularly polarized electroluminescent device, and can control the light emitting position of the circularly polarized electroluminescent device, so that the stability and consistency of the device during the test can be ensured, and the precision of the test is further improved.

[0053] For example, using a Keithley 2450 source meter, the positive and negative terminals of the source meter 101 can be connected to the device clamp 102 through wiring, and the positive and negative terminals of the circularly polarized light emitting device under test can be connected to the device clamp 102 through the device clamp 102, thereby causing the device to light up. At the same time, the Keithley 2450 source meter is connected to the test terminal 4, and the test terminal 4 can directly read the voltage and current information transmitted by the source meter 101.

[0054] The optical performance module 3 includes a first integrating sphere 302 and a first spectrometer 304 connected to the first integrating sphere 302; the first integrating sphere 302 collects the divergent light photons emitted by the circularly polarized light emitting device under test and transmits them to the first spectrometer 304; the first spectrometer 304 is used to detect the first spectral information of the divergent light photons and transmit the first spectral information to the test terminal 4.

[0055] The first integrating sphere 302 has high internal reflection performance, which can effectively collect and converge the divergent light photons emitted by the circularly polarized light emitting device under test, reduce the loss of light photons, and improve the detection accuracy of spectral information. At the same time, the first spectrometer 304 has high sensitivity and high resolution, which can accurately detect and record the spectral information of the divergent light photons, and provide reliable data support for the test terminal 4.

[0056] In a general example, the first integrating sphere 302 communicates with the first spectrometer 304 through an optical fiber bundle.

[0057] The test terminal 4 is used to determine the electrical performance parameters and optical performance parameters of the circularly polarized light emitting device under test according to the electrical signal and the first spectral information, respectively.

[0058] The test terminal 4 can be a computer, or other terminals or servers with the required computing power for electrical and optical performance, which is not limited here.

[0059] In order to measure the electrical performance parameters and optical performance parameters of the circularly polarized light emitting device under test, first, the circularly polarized light emitting device under test is placed on the device clamp 102, and the source meter 101 is connected to continuously provide the electrical signal (voltage) to the device. When a certain voltage is reached, the circularly polarized light emitting device under test emits light, and the brightness of the light emitted by the circularly polarized light emitting device under test gradually increases until the device is damaged. At the same time, the source meter is connected to the computer, and the current and voltage information can be read from the computer software, and the first spectrometer 304 is connected to the computer, and the light spectrum information can be read from the computer software. The current and voltage information can be used to determine the electrical performance parameters of the circularly polarized light emitting device under test, and the light spectrum information can be used to determine the optical performance parameters of the circularly polarized light emitting device under test.

[0060] In the use of the to-be-tested circularly polarized light-emitting device, its electrical performance parameters and optical performance parameters are crucial, which directly reflect the performance of the device. Through the test system provided by the application, the key parameters can be comprehensively and accurately measured, thereby providing strong technical support for the research, production and application of the device.

[0061] It should be noted that in the traditional method, the to-be-tested circularly polarized light-emitting device is usually placed on a spectrometer to measure the electroluminescence spectrum, and then connected to a source table to measure the electrical performance. The embodiment of the application integrates the electrical performance measurement module and the optical performance module, continuously provides the to-be-tested circularly polarized light-emitting device with the electrical signal required for testing through the source table, and transmits the electrical signal to the test terminal, so as to determine the electrical performance parameters of the to-be-tested circularly polarized light-emitting device according to the electrical signal, and collect the divergent light photons of the to-be-tested circularly polarized light-emitting device through the first integrating sphere, and transmit them to the first spectrometer to obtain the luminescence spectrum information of the to-be-tested circularly polarized light-emitting device, and determine the optical performance parameters of the to-be-tested circularly polarized light-emitting device according to the luminescence spectrum information through the test terminal, so as to integrate the electrical performance measurement and the optical performance measurement of the circularly polarized light-emitting device for synchronous measurement, thereby avoiding the process of data calculation and processing being too complicated.

[0062] The detailed process of testing the electrical performance parameters and the optical performance parameters of the to-be-tested circularly polarized light-emitting device based on the structure shown in FIGS. Figure 1 and Figure 2

[0063] In some embodiments, the electrical signal includes a voltage signal and a current signal; the electrical performance parameters include a current density-voltage change curve, a turn-on voltage and a voltage peak value corresponding to a maximum brightness of the device.

[0064] The current density-voltage change curve is a curve describing how the current density flowing through the to-be-tested circularly polarized light-emitting device changes at different voltages. This parameter can reflect the conductivity performance and charge injection efficiency of the device, and is one of the important indicators for evaluating the performance of the device.

[0065] The turn-on voltage refers to the lowest voltage at which the to-be-tested circularly polarized light-emitting device starts to emit light, which reflects the difficulty of starting the device.

[0066] The voltage peak value corresponding to the maximum brightness of the device is the voltage value corresponding to the maximum brightness of the device within a given voltage range, which helps to understand the voltage requirement of the device in the high brightness working state.

[0067] In this case, the test terminal 4 is used to determine the turn-on voltage and the voltage peak value corresponding to the maximum brightness of the device according to the voltage signal.

[0068] ​Wherein, in practical application, the turn-on voltage can be determined by gradually increasing the voltage and observing whether the device starts to emit light. And the voltage peak corresponding to the maximum brightness of the device, under the premise of ensuring the safety of the device, the voltage is adjusted to find the voltage point at which the brightness of the device reaches the maximum. These can be automatically captured by computer software using voltage signals.

[0069] The test terminal 4 is also used to determine the current density of the circularly polarized light emitting device to be tested according to the predetermined light emitting area of the circularly polarized light emitting device to be tested and the current signal, and determine the current density-voltage change curve according to the current density and the voltage signal.

[0070] Wherein, the predetermined light emitting area of the circularly polarized light emitting device to be tested is determined when the circularly polarized light emitting device is made, which has a specific light emitting position, and the area of this light emitting position is determined.

[0071] In practical application, by measuring and recording the current value under different voltages, and combining the light emitting area of the device, the corresponding current density can be calculated, and the current density-voltage change curve, i.e. J-V curve, can be drawn.

[0072] In some embodiments, the optical performance parameter includes a brightness-voltage change curve.

[0073] Wherein, the brightness-voltage change curve is a curve describing how the light emitting brightness of the circularly polarized light emitting device to be tested changes under different voltages. This parameter can intuitively reflect the light emitting efficiency and stability of the device, and is one of the important indicators for evaluating the optical performance of the device.

[0074] In this case, the test terminal 4 is used to determine the light emitting brightness of the circularly polarized light emitting device to be tested according to the first spectral information, and is also used to determine the brightness-voltage change curve according to the light emitting brightness and the voltage signal.

[0075] Wherein, the first spectral information includes the radiant flux entering the first integrating sphere. The light emitting brightness of the circularly polarized light emitting device to be tested is determined as follows:

[0076]

[0077] In the formula, L is the light emitting brightness, is the maximum spectral luminous efficiency, which is a constant, = 638 lm / W, is the radiant flux entering the first integrating sphere, is the photopic spectral luminous efficiency function, which is specified according to experimental values, is the device light emitting area, is the wavelength.

[0078] After obtaining the luminous intensity of the circularly polarized light-emitting device, the test terminal 4 can further draw a luminous intensity-voltage curve, i.e., an L-V curve, according to the luminous intensity and the voltage signal. This curve can clearly show the change trend of the luminous intensity of the device under different voltage driving, and provide an important basis for evaluating the luminous efficiency and stability of the device.

[0079] In some embodiments, the optical performance parameter includes a maximum external quantum efficiency.

[0080] The maximum external quantum efficiency is the maximum value of the efficiency of converting the injected electrons into outward radiation photons, and is one of the key indicators for measuring the luminous efficiency of the device. High external quantum efficiency means that the device can more effectively convert electrical energy into optical energy, thereby improving the luminous efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0081] The test terminal 4 is configured to determine the maximum external quantum efficiency according to the first spectral information and the current signal.

[0082] The calculation process of the maximum external quantum efficiency is as follows:

[0083]

[0084] In the formula, I is the injected current of the device, e is the charge of a single electron, h is the Planck constant, and c is the speed of light. The maximum external quantum efficiency is the maximum value of the efficiency of converting the injected electrons into outward radiation photons, and is one of the key indicators for measuring the luminous efficiency of the device. High external quantum efficiency means that the device can more effectively convert electrical energy into optical energy, thereby improving the luminous efficiency and reducing energy consumption. , The number of photons and the number of electrons, respectively, I represents the injected current of the device, e represents the charge of a single electron, h is the Planck constant, and c is the speed of light.

[0085] The electroluminescence asymmetry factor is a key dimensionless parameter for quantifying the degree of chirality (i.e., the difference in intensity of left and right circularly polarized components) of circularly polarized light emitted by a material. It is defined as twice the ratio of the difference between the intensity of left circularly polarized light (IL) and the intensity of right circularly polarized light (IR) to the sum of the two.

[0086] Furthermore, in the prior art, the inventors have discovered that existing measurement systems for measuring the electroluminescence asymmetry factor require testing the luminescence intensity / luminance of the device under different circular polarization states under both left-handed and right-handed filtering conditions. Due to the attenuation of the device's luminescence intensity during the testing process and the presence of numerous artifacts, the measurement data becomes extremely inaccurate. Firstly, neither traditional measurement methods nor commercially available measuring instruments (Jasco CPL-300) can resolve the artifacts in the electroluminescence asymmetry factor measurement caused by the attenuation of the device's luminescence intensity / luminance over testing time. Although commercial measuring instruments (such as the Jasco CPL-300) use photoelastic modulators to improve measurement accuracy, this method still sacrifices measurement time, typically requiring several minutes or even more than ten minutes. The instability of the device's luminous brightness severely affects the comparison of the intensity / luminous brightness of left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized light, thus leading to a decrease in measurement accuracy. Secondly, the traditional method for measuring luminous devices is to measure the asymmetry factor using a quarter-wave plate and a linear polarizer. This method usually requires manual rotation of the quarter-wave plate, and the rotation angle often deviates from the expected value, resulting in very limited measurement accuracy. Finally, in addition to the obvious artifacts mentioned above, there are also artifacts such as spectrometer measurement bias and circular dichroism absorption of optical elements (different absorption intensities for left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized light).

[0087] Artifacts refer to non-real signals appearing in measurement results or images. These signals do not originate from the actual physical characteristics of the target sample or the object being measured, but are false information introduced by defects in the measurement system itself, environmental interference, or data processing errors.

[0088] Furthermore, regarding the synchronization of electrical and optical characteristics measurements of circularly polarized light-emitting devices, neither of the two methods mentioned above can simultaneously measure both electrical and optical characteristics, resulting in an overly cumbersome process for subsequent data calculation and processing.

[0089] Therefore, the process of measuring the electroluminescence asymmetry factor in the embodiments of this application is described below.

[0090] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on the performance testing system of the electro-polarized circularly polarized light-emitting device, a circularly polarized optical path module 2 is added; the optical performance module 3 also includes a second integrating sphere 301 and a second spectrometer 303 connected to the second integrating sphere 301.

[0091] The circular polarization optical path module 2 is used to split the divergent photons emitted by the circularly polarized light-emitting device under test into first linearly polarized light and second linearly polarized light;

[0092] The first linearly polarized light and the second linearly polarized light are transmitted to the first spectrometer 304 and the second spectrometer 303 respectively after passing through the first integrating sphere 302 and the second integrating sphere 301 respectively.

[0093] The first spectrometer 304 and the second spectrometer 303 are used for transmitting the second spectral information and the third spectral information corresponding to the first linearly polarized light and the second linearly polarized light respectively to the test terminal 4.

[0094] The test terminal 4 is used for determining the optical performance parameter of the circularly polarized light emitting device according to the second spectral information and the third spectral information.

[0095] The circularly polarized light path module 2 includes a collimating lens 201, a quarter-wave plate 202, a polarization beam splitter prism 203, a converging lens 204, a converging lens 205 and a mounting seat (not shown in the figure).

[0096] The collimating lens 201, the quarter-wave plate 202 and the polarization beam splitter prism 203 are sequentially arranged along the optical axis.

[0097] The converging lens 204 is arranged on the reflection light path of the polarization beam splitter prism 203 and is arranged opposite to the second integrating sphere 301.

[0098] The converging lens 205 is arranged on the refraction light path of the polarization beam splitter prism 203 and is arranged opposite to the first integrating sphere 302.

[0099] The quarter-wave plate 202 is mounted on the mounting seat and is switched in the first direction or the second direction by rotating the mounting seat.

[0100] Based on the structure as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the optical performance parameter includes an electroluminescence asymmetry factor; the second spectral information includes the first linearly polarized light luminous flux measured in the first direction and the first linearly polarized light luminous flux measured in the second direction; and the third spectral information includes the second linearly polarized light luminous flux measured in the first direction and the second linearly polarized light luminous flux measured in the second direction.

[0101] The test terminal 4 is used for determining the total first linearly polarized light luminous flux according to the first linearly polarized light luminous flux measured in the first direction and the first linearly polarized light luminous flux measured in the second direction, determining the total second linearly polarized light luminous flux according to the second linearly polarized light luminous flux measured in the first direction and the second linearly polarized light luminous flux measured in the second direction, and determining the electroluminescence asymmetry factor according to the total first linearly polarized light luminous flux and the total second linearly polarized light luminous flux.

[0102] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 5As shown, the divergent photons (circularly polarized light) emitted by the circularly polarized light emitting device to be measured first pass through the collimating lens 201 to become parallel circularly polarized light, then pass through the quarter-wave plate 202 (at this time, the quarter-wave plate 202 is located in the first direction, i.e., the fast axis direction is +45° with the horizontal plane), the left-handed circularly polarized light becomes vertical linearly polarized light (s-polarized light), and the right-handed circularly polarized light becomes parallel linearly polarized light (p-polarized light), then pass through the polarization beam splitter prism 203, the s-polarized light is reflected, and the p-polarized light is transmitted. Finally, the two linearly polarized lights respectively enter the first integrating sphere 302 and the second integrating sphere 301 through the converging lens 205 and the converging lens 204, so as to be respectively detected by the first spectrometer 304 and the second spectrometer 303, and the first linearly polarized light flux Φ L+ measured in the first direction and the second linearly polarized light flux Φ R+ measured in the first direction are obtained.

[0103] The quarter-wave plate 202 is switched to the second direction by rotating the mounting seat again, i.e., the fast axis position of the quarter-wave plate is -45° with the horizontal plane. At this time, when the circularly polarized light of the circularly polarized light emitting device passes through the quarter-wave plate, the left-handed circularly polarized light becomes parallel linearly polarized light (p-polarized light), and the right-handed circularly polarized light becomes vertical linearly polarized light (s-polarized light). Then, after passing through the polarization beam splitter prism 203 again, the s-polarized light is reflected, and the p-polarized light is transmitted. Finally, the two linearly polarized lights respectively enter the integrating spheres, so as to be detected by the spectrometers, and the first linearly polarized light flux Φ L- measured in the second direction and the second linearly polarized light flux Φ R- measured in the second direction are obtained.

[0104] The rotating mounting seat can be an electric rotating mounting seat of THORLABS, which greatly improves the rotation accuracy compared with a manual rotating quarter-wave plate.

[0105] The first linearly polarized light flux Φ L+ measured in the first direction and the second linearly polarized light flux Φ L- measured in the second direction are added to obtain the total first linearly polarized light flux Φ L , i.e., Φ L =Φ L+ +Φ L- .

[0106] The first linearly polarized light flux Φ R+ measured in the first direction and the second linearly polarized light flux Φ R- measured in the second direction are added to obtain the total second linearly polarized light flux Φ R , i.e., Φ R =Φ R+ +Φ R- .

[0107] Then, the asymmetry factor of electroluminescence is calculated according to the following formula by using computer software:

[0108]

[0109] In the formula, Φ is the luminous flux of the left circularly polarized light, and Φ is the luminous flux of the right circularly polarized light. is the asymmetry factor of electroluminescence.

[0110] In actual numerical reading, the luminous flux at different wavelengths is usually read on a spectrometer, that is, an electroluminescence curve with wavelength as the horizontal coordinate and luminous flux as the vertical coordinate is obtained. Here, the numerical value of the vertical coordinate is usually taken as Φ, and the asymmetry factor of electroluminescence obtained by the final calculation is also usually a curve with wavelength as the horizontal coordinate and the asymmetry factor of electroluminescence as the vertical coordinate, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 6

[0111] It should be noted that the luminous flux of the left circularly polarized light and the right circularly polarized light is measured twice, which effectively compensates for the artifacts caused by the change in brightness of the circularly polarized light emitting device. The traditional scheme measures the asymmetry factor of electroluminescence by using a quarter-wave plate and a linear polarizer. This method will cause a large difference between the measured luminous flux of the left circularly polarized light and the luminous flux of the right circularly polarized light due to the unstable brightness of the circularly polarized light emitting device, thereby causing artifacts. Compared with the method of using a PEM instead of a quarter-wave plate, the present application also avoids artifacts caused by the change in brightness of the circularly polarized light emitting device due to the long measurement time.
