Bit-error rates for optical receivers using avalanche photodiodes with dead space
Bit-error rates are computed for an on-off keying optical communication system using avalanche photodiodes (APD’s). We use a model for the APD that includes dead space and the finite response time. Dead space is the minimum distance that a newly generated carrier must travel in order to acquire sufficient energy to become capable of causing an impact ionization in the multiplication region of t...
متن کاملBreakdown Probabilities for Thin Heterostructure Avalanche Photodiodes
The recurrence theory for the breakdown probability in avalanche photodiodes (APDs) is generalized to heterostructure APDs that may have multiple multiplication layers. The generalization addresses layer-boundary effects such as the initial energy of injected carriers as well as the layer-dependent profile of the dead space in the multiplication region. Reducing the width of the multiplication ...
متن کاملMultiplication theory for dynamically biased avalanche photodiodes: new limits for gain bandwidth product.
Novel theory is developed for the avalanche multiplication process in avalanche photodiodes (APDs) under time-varying reverse-biasing conditions. Integral equations are derived characterizing the statistics of the multiplication factor and the impulse-response function of APDs, as well as their breakdown probability, all under the assumption that the electric field driving the avalanche process...
متن کاملInvestigation of manufacturing variations of planar InP/InGaAs avalanche photodiodes for optical receivers
Planar InP/InGaAs avalanche photodiodes are widely used for high-speed optical receivers in optical fiber communication systems. Even though these avalanche photodiodes offer the excellent characteristics in high-speed operation, the performance metrics are affected by manufacturing parameter variations considerably. In this paper, the effects of manufacturing variations on the device performan...
متن کاملAvalanche Photodiodes for LIDAR Applications
LIDAR is an optical remote sensing technology. An emitter sends out infrared laser pulses and the reflected light is detected by a photodiode. The distance and relative speed of other objects can be determined from the runtime of the signal (time of flight) and the speed of light. This measurement method is similar to radar. Both technologies offer similar ranges for similar applications but LI...
