• Low loss fiber-fiber joints are either:
1- Splice (permanent bond)
2- Connector (demountable connection)

Different modal distribution of the optical beam emerging from a fiber lead to different
degrees of coupling loss. a) when all modes are equally excited, the output beam fills the
entire output NA. b) for a steady state modal distribution, only the equilibrium NA is filled
by the output beam.

pin Photodetector
The high electric field present in the depletion region causes photo-generated carriers to
Separate and be collected across the reverse –biased junction. This give rise to a current
Flow in an external circuit, known as photocurrent.

Photocurrent
• Optical power absorbed, in the depletion region can be written in terms
of incident optical power, :
• Absorption coefficient strongly depends on wavelength. The upper
wavelength cutoff for any semiconductor can be determined by its energy
gap as follows:
• Taking entrance face reflectivity into consideration, the absorbed power in
the width of depletion region, w, becomes:

Avalanche Photodiode (APD)
APDs internally multiply the
primary photocurrent before it
enters to following circuitry.
In order to carrier multiplication
take place, the photogenerated
carriers must traverse along a
high field region. In this region,
photogenerated electrons and
holes gain enough energy to
ionize bound electrons in VB
upon colliding with them. This
multiplication is known as
impact ionization. The newly
created carriers in the presence of
high electric field result in more
ionization called avalanche
effect.

Responsivity of APD
• The multiplication factor (current gain) M for all carriers generated in the
photodiode is defined as:
• Where is the average value of the total multiplied output current & is
the primary photocurrent.

Photodetector Noise & S/N
• Detection of weak optical signal requires that the photodetector and its following amplification circuitry be optimized for a desired signal-to-noise ratio.
• It is the noise current which determines the minimum optical power level that can be detected. This minimum detectable optical power defines the sensitivity of photodetector. That is the optical power that generates a photocurrent with the amplitude equal to that of the total noise current (S/N=1)

Signal Calculation
• Consider the modulated optical power signal P(t) falls on the photodetector
with the form of:
• Where s(t) is message electrical signal and m is modulation index.
Therefore the primary photocurrent is (for pin photodiode M=1):

Noise Sources in Photodetecors
• The principal noises associated with photodetectors are :
1- Quantum (Shot) noise: arises from statistical nature of the production
and collection of photo-generated electrons upon optical illumination. It has
been shown that the statistics follow a Poisson process.
2- Dark current noise: is the current that continues to flow through the
bias circuit in the absence of the light. This is the combination of bulk dark
current, which is due to thermally generated e and h in the pn junction, and
the surface dark current, due to surface defects, bias voltage and surface
area.
• In order to calculate the total noise presented in photodetector, we should
sum up the root mean square of each noise current by assuming that those
are uncorrelated.
• Total photodetector noise current=quantum noise current +bulk dark
current noise + surface current noise

• Having obtained the signal and total noise, the signal-to-noise-ratio can be
written as:
• Since the noise figure F(M) increases with M, there always exists an
optimum value of M that maximizes the S/N. For sinusoidally modulated

Photodetector Response Time
• The response time of a photodetector with its output circuit depends mainly
on the following three factors:
1- The transit time of the photocarriers in the depletion region. The transit
time depends on the carrier drift velocity and the depletion layer
width w, and is given by:
2- Diffusion time of photocarriers outside depletion region.
3- RC time constant of the circuit. The circuit after the photodetector acts
like RC low pass filter with a passband given by:

Various optical responses of photodetectors: Trade-off between quantum efficiency & response time
• To achieve a high quantum efficiency, the depletion layer width must be larger than
(the inverse of the absorption coefficient), so that most of the light will be absorbed. At the same time with large width, the capacitance is small and RC time constant getting smaller, leading to faster response, but wide width results in larger transit time in the depletion region. Therefore there is a trade-off between width and QE. It is shown that the best is:
