Wd. Greason et al., NONINVASIVE OPTOELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR MEASUREMENT OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)-INDUCED PHENOMENA, IEEE transactions on industry applications, 33(2), 1997, pp. 435-443
The design of a high-speed optoelectronic system consisting of an elec
trically floating detector/transmitter module coupled to a receiver by
a fiber-optic link is described, Typical applications of this optical
decoupled system involving electrostatic discharge (ESD) are describe
d, These include the optical signature characterization of discharges
and the measurement of conducted and radiated electromagnetic interfer
ence (EMI) due to ESD. Results of experiments conducted to demonstrate
the qualitative performance characteristics of the measurement system
are presented.
