Optical OFDM With Single-Photon Avalanche Diode
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 2015 In this letter, an optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system based on a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) receiver is presented. SPAD detectors do not require a transimpedance amplifier as they operate in the Geiger mode. This poses challenges on detecting continuous data carrying signals. However, in this letter, we show that

Analytical Evaluation of Signal-to-Noise Ratios for Avalanche- and Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Performance of systems for optical detection depends on the choice of the right detector for the right application. Designers of optical systems for ranging applications can choose from a variety of highly sensitive photodetectors, of which the two most prominent ones are linear mode avalanche photodiodes (LM-APDs or APDs) and Geiger-mode APDs or ...
