Following are the major parameters associated with optical light receivers:-
-
-
- Minimum threshold optical power, minimum sensitivity
- Responsiveness per wavelength
- Wavelength discrimination
- Receiver bit rate (max-min)
- Min-max threshold level (one-zero)
- Dependency on one’s density
- Dependence on polarisation
- Demodulation
- Receiver noise
- Dependency on bias
- Dependency on temperature
