Silicon photomultipliers for visible light communications by Ahmed, Z

“…The measured power penalty is then analysed by comparing it to the power penalty of a first-order low-pass system and a power penalty estimated based on the collection area, PDE, and the required average number of photons per bit. Subsequently, the performance is evaluated with equalisation, and the sensitivity ratio between selected SiPMs is compared to study the impact of the collection area and the non-linearity of SiPMs. …”
