Abstract

This article describes the development of a fully characterized current-voltage amplifier using the switched integrator technique. This work was conducted to see if the switched integrator is suit-able for purposes of high accuracy optical measurements. Two distinct systems have been developed in parallel at NPL and CMI laboratories. The main focus of the project was to obtain gain re-peatability and linearity better then 0.001% and a dynamic range from uA to 100 fA level. Initial results indicate that the sub 0.001% error level is achievable. The amplifiers developed have character-istics that make them suitable for applications measuring very low radiant flux with large area semiconductor detectors.
