Abstract :
The photoparametric mode of operation involves optical detection and pre-amplification/frequency conversion within a single device (a photodetector). In this paper, we discuss the potential applications, the required device structure and characteristics and amplifier simulation techniques. Experimental results from implementation of a prototype receiver are presented and measured results are discussed.<>
