Problems solved by technology

The traditional avalanche photodiode protection method is to connect a resistor or a current-limiting diode in series before the avalanche photodiode to reduce the Vapd voltage (bias voltage of the avalanche photodiode). The multiplication factor is M=1, in the case of excessive optical power, it will still have an impact on the APD

Abstract

The invention discloses a protector and protection method of an avalanche photodiode (APD) in a passive optical network (PON) burst mode. A chip with a two-path current monitoring and boosting function is used to provide a bias voltage and current for the APD. A microcontroller capable of pulse width modulation (PWM) and analog-to-digital conversion is used for modulating the voltage and sampling of the APD. A received signal strength indication (RSSI) fast response system is utilized to finish light current sampling and holding in the presence of an ultrashort optical signal. In the invention, based on a principle of automatic control, when the luminous power of the APD is excessively input, a pulser configured by software is used for reducing the output voltage of a power supply chip, so as to reduce the gain current and response current of the power supply chip, thereby preventing the overcurrent damage of the APD.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the protection technology of the avalanche photodiode, in particular to the protection technology of the avalanche photodiode in the burst mode of the passive optical network. Background technique [0002] APD (Avalanche Photodiode), a photosensitive element used in optical communications. After a reverse bias is applied to the P-N junction of a photodiode made of silicon or germanium, the incident light will be absorbed by the P-N junction to form a photocurrent. Increasing the reverse bias will produce the phenomenon of "avalanche" (that is, the photocurrent increases exponentially), so this kind of diode is called "avalanche photodiode". The traditional avalanche photodiode protection method is to connect a resistor or a current-limiting diode in series before the avalanche photodiode to reduce the Vapd voltage (bias voltage of the avalanche photodiode). The multiplication factor is M=1. In the case of excessive optical po...
