An optical receiver, for responding to optical energy propagating in an optical fibre transmission path (2) is detected by a reverse-biassed p-i-n diode (3) which is connected in series with a forward-biassed p-i-n diode (7). The junction between the two diodes is connected to the input of an amplifier (5), which is part of a two-stage amplifier (5,8), with automatic equalization (9,10,11). The forward biassed diode, by its characteristics leads to an improved dynamic range for the receiver as compared with conventional optical receivers. |
