This dark current took a toll.
(a) Dark current during the IS measurements.
Temperature-dependent dark current, responsivity and detectivity were measured.
Dark current is clearly a limiting parameter for it.
The only degradation observed was a photodiode dark current increase.
Dark current calibrations are performed approximately three times per year.
Simple approximate analytic expressions for the dark current are compared with full numerical calculations, and provide a physical insight into the mechanisms dominating the dark current.
