A simplified approach to time-domain modeling of avalanche photodiodes
Abstract
A simplified algorithm for calculating time response of avalanche photodiodes (APDs) is presented. The algorithm considers the time course of avalanche processes for the general case of position-dependent double-carrier multiplications including the dead space effect. The algorithm is based on a discrete time setting ideally suited for computer modeling and can be applied to any APD structure. It gives a fast and accurate estimation of the time …
