| Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to encourage the use of avalanche photo-diodes in optical communication systems, especially if high speeds are required. The basic theory of the device is first briefly reviewed. This is followed by a few examples of the possible performance compared to that of a PIN photodiode. Some frequency response measurements of recent avalanche photodiodes are then presented. |
