Modeling and Analysis of BER Performance in a SPAD-Based Integrated Fiber Optical Receiver

An analytical approach to model and analysis of the bit-error ratio (BER) performance in multi-single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) optical receivers is presented. The model covers all important non-ideality effects including the detector dead time, the optical signal profile, and the SPAD intrinsic...
