  • Abstract
    In this paper, we present a circuit model for separate absorption, and multiplication avalanche photodetector (SAM- APD). In this circuit modeling we consider the nonuniformity of electric field using split-step method in active region. The profile of electric field is not uniform and is linearly changed in active region. As an example, an InGaAs/InAlAs SAM-APD is simulated.
