Performance comparisons between PIN and APD photodetectors for use in optical communication systems
In this report, a performance comparison of the conventional PIN photodiode with the Avalanche Photodiode (APD) in an optical communication system is presented. The effects of bandwidth, gain, extinction ratio, shot noise and thermal noise are compared and studied in detail. It was shown that the Q...
