摘要
This paper reports the results of a computer study to numerically evaluate the digital performance of an optical receiver with avalanche photodetectors. Exact and approximate APD statistics were implemented and error probabilities in the range 10–1 to 10–4 were computed. Both shot-noise and receiver-noise limited conditions were examined, and on-off keying, binary pulse comparison, multilevel intensity, and PPM signaling formats are considered.
