Sensitivity Calculations of High-Speed Optical Receivers Based on Electron-APDs

V Shulyak, MM Hayat, JS Ng - Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Sensitivity of high-speed optical receivers is heavily influenced by the performance of the
optical detectors used in the receivers, the data rate, and the target bit-error-rate (BER). A …

Low-Photon Detection Using InGaAs/InAlAs and InAs Avalanche Photodiodes

V Shulyak - 2020 - etheses.whiterose.ac.uk
Single-photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs) based on the InGaAs/InAlAs material
system are designed, fabricated, and characterised for 1550 nm light detection. The two …
