Question 7) Why the junction capacitance and resistance of a photodiode varies with the junction voltage and load resistance. Also write down the advantages of using reverse bias in a photodiodes.
Question 8) Assume an avalanche photodiode has the following parameters: IL= 1 nA, ID= 1 nA, n=0.85, F= M1/2,RL=103Ω and B=1kHz.Consider a sinusoidaly iarying 850 nm signal, which has modulation index m=0.85 & an average power level Po=-50dBm, to fall on the detector at room temperature' Plot the S/N ratio as a "function of M for gains varying from 20 to 100. At what value of M does the maximum S/N occurs.
