Abstract

We have investigated the effect of spatial gain uniformity on the multiplication noise of InP/InGaAsP/InGaAs avalanche photodiodes (APD's) with separate absorption, grading, and multiplication regions. APD's with localized regions of high gain exhibit higher excess noise factors and poorer Performance in lightwave receivers than those with uniform gain.
