Optical Fiber CommunicationsThe third edition of this popular text and reference book presents the fundamental principles for understanding and applying optical fiber technology to sophisticated modern telecommunication systems.. Optical-fiber-based telecommunication networks have become a major information-transmission-system, with high capacity links encircling the globe in both terrestrial and undersea installations. Numerous passive and active optical devices within these links perform complex transmission and networking functions in the optical domain, such as signal amplification, restoration, routing, and switching. Along with the need to understand the functions of these devices comes the necessity to measure both component and network performance, and to model and stimulate the complex behavior of reliable high-capacity networks. |

CHAPTER SIX PHOTODETECTORS At the output end of an optical transmission
line there must be a receiving device which interprets the information contained
in the optical signal . The first element of this receiver is a photodetector .

In this case the photons are absorbed very close to the photodetector surface
where the recombination time of the generated electron - hole pairs is very short .
The generated carriers thus recombine before they can be collected by the ...

When light having photon energies greater than or equal to the band gap energy
of the semiconductor material is incident on a photodetector , the photons can
give up their energy and excite electrons from the valence band to the conduction
