Abstract

In this paper, the first stages of receivers of optical radiation are described. Special attention was paid to the selection of a detector adequate for the range of radiation being detected. Detectors of optical radiation, including UV, visible, and IR detectors are characterised. The methods of broadening of a transmission bandwidth were also discussed. Moreover, the design criteria of low noise preamplifiers used for the mentioned detectors were presented. Keywords: photoreceiver, noise model, low noise electronics circuits.
