An InGaAs pin photodiode has 751300 nm, Ip = 4 nA, 1. = 0.90, र == 1000 Q, and the surface
leakage current is negligible. The incident optical power is 300nW (-35 dBm) and the receiver
bandwidth is 20 MHz. Find the various noise terms of the receiver.
What are the essential components required for establishing a point- to point link.
What are the various losses associated with it? Explain with neat optical power loss
model.
