Abstract :
In this paper a numerical method for analysis of waveguide-separated absorption charge multiplication avalanche photodetector (WG-SACM-APD) is presented. Considering the theory of Taylor series, frequency domain modeling of this detector including parasitic sources is achieved. Finally, the detector´s transfer function and bandwidth with respect to the multiplication gain are also investigated.
