Instantaneous Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Performance of Multi-Gain-Stage APD Photoreceivers

We describe the use of analytical and numerical models of a multi-gain-stage single-carrier multiplication (SCM) avalanche photodiode (APD) to generate time-resolved receiver operating-characteristic (ROC) curves. First, pseudo-DC analytic models of discrete multi-stage APDs are used to generate the...
