The role of the optical front end in the receiver

Home / The role of the optical front end in the receiver

The optical front end (OFE) is a critical part in most Optical Wireless Communica-tion (OWC) systems. It captures the incoming light flux, converts it and amplifies it into an electrical signal. Its photodiode (PD) and transimpedance amplifier (TIA) can limit the throughput, determined by the noise. In this chapter, we will explore four principal types of front-end designs that are used in optical receivers. LO: local oscillator; PBS: polarization beam splitter; OFE: optical front end, which contains two 90 degree hybrid mixers and four sets of balanced photodiodes.

Receiver Front-End Design

Fundamentally, the front-end of an optical receiver responds to an optical signal by generating a photocurrent with a photodetector. The photocurrent is then converted to a voltage.

Optical Receiver

The design of a complete receiver is a complex task and the purpose of this section is to concentrate on the design of the optical front end which consists of the detector and the low noise amplifier.
