The photoelectric detector is the device of optical signals into electrical signals, using two kinds of photoelectric detector in optical fiber communication system, namely the photodiode (PIN) tube and avalanche photodiode (APD).

PIN detector

PIN detector is a common layer photodiode based on the depletion layer of the device, it has a high quantum efficiency, low dark current, high response speed, low operating bias, no multiplication effect characteristics.

APD detector

Avalanche photodiode is a kind of electron hole pair excited by high bias voltage to accelerate the photon collision, and two electron hole pairs collide to form a photomultiplier. It has high quantum efficiency, high response and multiplication effect.

Is the working mechanism of APD photodiode: photogenerated hole electron of high electric field in high speed APD optical diode, through impact ionization effect in the process of movement, the number is the first electron hole pair two times, three times the new electron hole several times, thus forming a large current signal light. APD is widely used in large capacity and long distance optical fiber communication.

 TIA

From the products used in the optical communication field, its function is to convert the complete electrical signal to the optical signal. In this system, mainly including LD, PD chip, non spherical lens, optical isolator and single-mode fiber. From the input signal to drive the LD chip light emitting; optical signal by non spherical lens coupled to a single-mode fiber.

From the LD chip to realize the electro-optical conversion, PD chip LD chip to monitor the optical power, monitoring the operation. Non spherical lens as an optical component, play the role of optical focus. Ensure that the light isolator one-way transmission, eliminate light reflection.
