The present invention comprises an operational algorithm, and calibration process, for an avalanche photodiode (ADP) receiver which takes into account an APD behavioral model. In-situ optical and electrical measurements (calibration) of the APD are performed to determine key constants for use in the...http://www.google.com.tw/patents/US6313459?utm_source=gb-gplus-share專利 US6313459 - Method for calibrating and operating an uncooled avalanche photodiode optical receiver
