About this document
Photodetectors: Types and Noise Analysis by Arindam Sen is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses different types of photodetectors used to measure electromagnetic radiation. It focuses on three important classes for communication systems: photomultiplier tubes, semiconducting devices like PN junctions and PIN diodes, and avalanche photodiodes. It also discusses CCD detectors. Thermal detectors detect temperature changes from absorbed radiation while photoemissive detectors use the photoelectric effect to emit electrons. Photomultiplier tubes provide signal amplification through
