Data receiving frontends using avalanche photodiodes are used in optical free-space communications for their effective sensitivity, large detection area, and uncomplex operation. Precise control of the high voltage necessary to trigger the avalanche effect inside the photodiode depends on the semiconductor’s excess noise factor, temperature, received signal power, background light, and also the subsequent thermal noise behavior of the transimpedance amplifier. Several prerequisites must be regarded and are explained in this document. We focus on the application of using avalanche photodiodes as data receivers for the on/off-keying of modulated bit streams with a 50% duty cycle. Also, experimental verification of the performance of the receiver with background light is demonstrated.

This paper reports a novel and versatile system for measuring excess noise and multiplication in avalanche photodiodes (APDs), using a bipolar junction transistor based transimpedance amplifier front-end and based on phase-sensitive detection, which permits accurate measurement in the presence of a high dark current. The system can reliably measure the excess noise factor of devices with capacitance up to 5 nF. This system has been used to measure thin, large area Si pin APDs and the resulting data are in good agreement with measurements of the same devices obtained from a different noise measurement system which will be reported separately.
