Much interest has recently been expressed in investigating the basic PIN (a diode with a wide, lightly doped between a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor region). And the more complex, expensive (about 4x the cost of the PIN) and voltage-hungry APD receiver(a highly sensitive semicondu...
