Avalanche Photodiodes Performance Parameters Estimation under Thermal Irradiation Fields (original) (raw)

Abstract

In this paper a model to reveals the effect of ionizing radiation and temperature on the performance of APDs is built by using Vissim environment. This proposed model provides a mean to control the properties of APD when they are selected to operate in thermal radiation environments. Efficiency, sensitivity, responsitivity, detectivity, noise equivalent power, excess noise factor, normalized detectivity, and signal to noise ratio are modeled. The temperature effects are combined with radiation effects to formulate a rigours treatment for the APD behavior. The results are validated against published experimental work in temperature case and show good agreement. university, Menouf. Postal Menouf city code: 32951, EGYPT.
