Photodiode nonlinearity measurements using one-, two- and three-tone measurement systems are compared with each other, to investigate the comparison accuracy between setups. The mathematical relationship between each setup is analyzed, and data on multiple devices are compared to find under which conditions the measurements are comparable. It is shown that the three measurement systems can be used interchangeably only when the distortion adheres to the expected mathematical slopes.
