On the Use of Gaussian Approximation in Analyzing the Performance of Optical Receivers

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2014
The analytical calculation of the bit error rate (BER) of digital optical receivers that employ avalanche photodiodes (APDs) is challenging due to 1) the stochastic nature of the avalanche photodiode's impulse-response function and 2) the presence of ...

Synthesis method for distributed amplifiers

open access: yesJournal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2003
New design method is presented for distributed amplifiers (DA). It is shown that by proper design of the applied transmission lines (TL) between the active devices the image impedance and the cut-off frequency COF of the input or output line of the DA ...

Total Internal Reflection Lens for Optical Wireless Receivers

open access: yesPhotonics, 2022
This work considers the use of a freeform total internal reflection (TIR) lens for optical concentration and provides for the first time experimental results in the context of optical wireless communications (OWC). The lens is placed on a surface-mounted

Quantum Receivers for Entanglement Assisted Classical Optical Communications

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2021
Entanglement assisted (EA) communication represents an interesting alternative to classical communication, in particular in low-brightness and highly noisy regime when it outperforms significantly corresponding classical counterpart in terms of the ...

PPM demodulation: On approaching fundamental limits of optical communications

open access: yes, 2010
We consider the problem of demodulating M-ary optical PPM (pulse-position modulation) waveforms, and propose a structured receiver whose mean probability of symbol error is smaller than all known receivers, and approaches the quantum limit.

Characterization of submillimetre quasi-optical twin-slot double-junction SIS mixers [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We report on the continuing development of submillimetre quasi-optical slot antenna SIS mixers, which use two-junction tuning circuits. Direct and heterodyne Fourier transform spectrometer measurements have been performed to compare device performance ...

Phase tracking for sub-shot-noise-limited receivers

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2020
Nonconventional receivers for phase-coherent states based on non-Gaussian measurements such as photon counting surpass the sensitivity limits of shot-noise-limited coherent receivers, the quantum noise limit (QNL). These non-Gaussian receivers can have a

Time-Controlled SPAD Receivers in Optical Wireless Communication System

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2023
Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) capable of single photon detection are promising optical sensors for use as receivers in optical wireless communication (OWC) systems.

Optical Receiver for Optical Time Domain Reflectometer

open access: yesElektronika ir Elektrotechnika, 2012
In this paper we analyze an optical receiver (OR) for the optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). Using optical receiver’s model, which consists of shunt-shunt feedback transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and InGaAs avalanche photodiode (APD), we discuss and give equations for all important noise sources, which are amplifiers input transistor channel ...
