Axial RayAn axial ray is an optical signal that travels along the axis of an optical fiber.
Avalanche Photodetector
This figure shows the basic operation of an optical APD photodetector. This example shows that an avalanche photodetector is composed of a p-type and n-type semiconductor material that is separated by an intrinsic material. A reverse bias is applied to the PIN causing a small amount of leakage current flows between the anode and cathode of the PIN detector. This example shows an APD is designed to allow the reception of a photon to cause an avalanche of many electrons making an APD many times more sensitive than a PIN detector.
