Characterization and Modeling of SAGCM InP/InGaAs Avalanche Photodiodes for Multigigabit Optical Fiber Communications
Abstract
This chapter describes extensive characterization and modeling of a specific type of state-of-the-art InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiode (APD), utilized in current and future multigigabit optical fiber communication systems. A short introduction to optical fiber communications is presented by considering the general system architecture, the major advantages over other technologies, and the historical developments of the technology. The general …
