What Does EQE Stand For?
EQE stands for Equivalent Quantum Efficiency
Equivalent Quantum Efficiency (EQE) is a key performance metric used to evaluate the effectiveness of a photodetector or optical device in converting incident photons into usable electrical signals. It quantifies the ratio of the number of charge carriers generated to the number of incident photons, providing insight into the device's sensitivity and overall efficiency. EQE is critical in applications such as solar cells, photodiodes, and imaging sensors, as it helps determine their performance in various light conditions.
