- Abstract:
-
Visible light communications (VLC) is an alternative method of indoor wireless communications that requires sensitive receivers. Ideally, single photon avalanche detectors (SPADs) could be used to create more sensitive receivers. However, the dead-time, finite output pulse width and photon detection efficiency of existing SPAD arrays limits their sensitivity and bandwidth. In this paper an accurate equation for the impact of dead-time on the sensitivity of a SPAD array is presented. In additi...
