Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 19:
20. An optically-monitored and/or optically-controlled electronic device, comprising:
a semiconductor device;
an optical detector configured to detect light emitted by said semiconductor device during operation; and
a signal processor configured to communicate with said optical detector to receive information regarding said light detected,
wherein said signal processor is further configured to provide information concerning at least one of an electrical current flowing in, a temperature of, or a condition of said semiconductor device during operation,
wherein said signal processor is further configured to have a calibration curve to determine light emitted by said semiconductor device as a function of temperature and current thereof over a temperature and current range, and
wherein said calibration is based on determining intensities of light emitted by said semiconductor device at a plurality of separate emission peaks for each temperature and current of said semiconductor device over said temperature and current range and fitting said intensities over said temperature and current range to provide said calibration curve.
