Performance of Optical Receivers with Avalanche Photodetection

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 l0^{-1} to l0^{-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.
