The measurement and analysis of characteristic parameters are important means to adequately evaluate the infrared-sensitive materials, fabrication technology and device performance. The definition, measuring and calculation methods of characteristic parameters of single-element infrared photodetectors are systematically reviewed, especially the analysis method of characteristic parameters. The analysis of characteristic parameters is that, device characteristics which cannot be directly measured can be analyzed from the directly-measured characteristics. Characteristic parameters such as activation energy, surface leakage current and lateral diffusion length of the carrier are analyzed based on directly-measured dark current. This work has enriched the evaluation and optimization methods of infrared photodetectors.
Dirac semimetal is a new kind of topological quantum material, which has attracted extensive attention due to its rich and interesting optical properties. In this paper, an one-dimensional photonic crystal based on Dirac semimetal Cd3As2, CdTe dielectric film and air defect layer is designed. The evolutions of the reflectance and transmittance of the photonic crystal with temperature, incident wavelength and incident angle are simulated and revealed by using the transfer matrix theory. The results show that the photonic crystal can produce a photonic band gap in the mid infrared band by using appropriate structural parameters. As the temperature increases, the width of the photonic band gap gradually becomes narrow, the reflectance and transmittance in the wavelengths of photonic band gap gradually decrease. At the oblique incidence, both the band edges and the central wavelength of photonic band gap shift toward short wavelength as the incident angle increases. When the incident light is p-polarized, the width of band gap gradually decreases. When the incident light is s-polarized, the width of band gap nearly keeps unchanged.

Static light scattering contains characteristic information of particle size, so static light scattering method is an effective means to measure the particle size of suspended matter in water body rapidly. However, the measurement accuracy of the static light scattering method for small particle size measurement is insufficient because the lateral and backward scattered light of particles is weak and not easily detected, and the forward scattering is affected by the Airy spot and there is a blind area for measurement. A low-level anisotropic scanning light scattering measurement method for small particle size suspensions in water is proposed, using a photomultiplier tube as the detector and a multi-angle continuous scanning method to detect the light scattering information of particles: by shortening the distance from the detector to the sample cell, the intensity of scattered light at the same angular resolution is increased, and the sensitivity of lateral and backward scattered light detection is improved; by deviating the detector from the excitation optical axis By avoiding the blind area of Airy spot, the forward large-angle scattered light detection can be achieved without changing the precision of the small-angle measurement of the front angle. On this basis, the method is combined with the meter scattering model to achieve the particle size measurement of small particle size suspensions. Experiments on different particle size samples show that the method can accurately measure the particle size of particles in the range of 350 nm to 2μm, and the relative errors of measurement of D50 for 2μm, 1.5μm, 500nm and 350nm specimens do not exceed 5.61%, all of which are lower than the relative errors of specimen uncertainty, and are better than the measurement results of laser particle size meters in the laboratory.
