Title
Bit-error rates for optical receivers using avalanche photodiodes with dead space
Abstract
Bit-error rates are computed for an on-off keying optical communication system using avalanche photodiodes (APDs). We use a model for the APD that includes dead space and the finite response time. Dead space is the minimum distance that a newly generated carrier must travel in order to acquire sufficient energy to become capable of causing an impact ionization in the multiplication region of the A...
