Abstract :
This paper tries to characterize the PIN and avalanche photodiode (APD) in time and frequency domain using the circuit simulation in Spice. For this reason a circuit model of PIN avalanche diodes based on carrier rate equations has been considered. This model is able to pretend dc, ac, and transient response of diode. We contemplate the effects of variation in bias voltage and optical power on frequency and transient response
