Scientific paper

Silicon APDs with very low excess noise factors have been recently developed which are projected to be capable of producing an excess noise factor of 2.6 for an average gain of 150 at 830 nm, in the case of a 100-micron active diameter detector; quantum efficiency would be 90 percent. When these devices are operated in conjunction with a low-noise preamplifier, direct-detection optical receivers can be constructed whose sensitivity lies only 3-4 dB from the sensitivity projected for an 'ideal' optical receiver. Tabulations are presented of performance predictions for both 100 and 500 Mb/sec transmission rates.
