Free-Space Optical Data Receivers with Avalanche Detectors for Satellite Downlinks Regarding Background Light

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 semico...
