A new photovoltaic (PV) device current
mapping method has been developed, utilizing
the recently introduced compressed sensing
sampling theory. The aim is to significantly
reduce measurement time of Light Beam
Induced Current measurements. A prototype
setup has been built at National Physics
Laboratory (NPL) to implement the method.
Initial results are presented and illustrate the
feasibility of the method.
