Abstract
Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are semiconductor-based photon detectors. Their most important properties, gain and photon detection efficiency, are dependent on or influenced by voltage and temperature and need to be characterised for optimal usage of the SiPMs. The test setup has been built for optical and electrical characterisation of SiPMs. The setup provides a temperature-stabilised SiPM mount, an LED-based multi-purpose light source offers continuous and pulsed operation mode for wavelengths from 300Â nm to 650Â nm. The result is a complete characterisation of the SiPM within a desired range of operation voltage and ambient temperature.
