Abstract

See full text

The detection device comprises a photodetector provided with first and second terminals. A readout circuit has an input coupled to the first terminal of the photodetector. A bias circuit imposes a bias on the terminals of the photodetector. A test circuit delivers a test current to the photodetector. The test circuit comprises a first transistor through which the test current flows. The first transistor presents a first main electrode connected to the input of the readout circuit and configured so as to have a junction diode opposing flow of the charge carriers when the photodetector is short-circuited.
