Photodiode Detectors

Consider the transimpedance amplifier optical receiver shown in Fig. 14-19. Thefeedback resistance is 10 k_ and the feedback capacitance is 0.2 pF. The diode’s capacitance is 5 pF, and its responsivity is 0.5 A/W. The incident optical power is 0.5 mW. (a) Compute the signal current. (b) Compute the receiver’s output voltage. (c) Compute the receiver’s 3 dB electrical bandwidth. (d) Compute the rms thermal-noise current generated in the feedback resistor, assuming a temperature of 300K. (e) Assuming no dark current, and an ideal (noiseless) amplifier, compute the output SNR, expressed in dB. The actual SNR will be somewhat lower due to noise introduced by the amplifier.
