Light photons impinging upon a semiconductor material in the vicinity of a P-N junction release conduction carriers to produce current flow through the photodiode effect. Photodiode amplifiers convert this current to a voltage in a relationship that remains linear as long as the amplifier eliminates signal voltage swing from the photodiode. For this purpose, the simple current-to-voltage converter or transimpedance amplifier presents a virtual ground to the diode. However, when connected to a photodiode, this simple op amp circuit displays surprising multidimensional constraints that defy conventional op amp intuition.

Customer Rating:
Summary: good performance
Comment: This book was a good introduction to the concerns of building a photodiode front end. Electronics develops so fast that modern packaged amplifiers may obviate the use of some older techniques, but it is still a good idea to read about the principles and appreciate what features the integrated solution offers (and not!)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Weak and Outdated
Comment: Basic stuff. This book collects dust on my lab shelf. Transimpedance amplifiers - you can find this stuff on the web for free. Absolutely no talk of charge integration.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good book for measurement applications of Photodiodes
Comment: This book is an excellent reference for understanding the Photodiode circuits. It is gives good coverage of the limitations of the transimpedance amplfier, gives good comparision of different schemes for I to V convertors and covers noise in photodiode circuits extensively. It is a good text for low frequency application . Not meant for real high speed design reference.
Customer Rating:
Summary: good book for measurement circuits not for receiver design
Comment: Excellent book for design of optical measurement etc type of application and undrestand noise and errors in the circuit.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Thorough review of photodiodes driving op-amps
Comment: This book lives up to its title by giving a thorough review of photodiodes driving op-amps. It does not consider specialized, discrete photodiode amplifiers. By limiting the coverage to op-amps, the bandwidths are necessarily those of op-amps, a few tens of megahertz at the time most of the book was written, perhaps 100 MHz or so today. Truly wide bandwidth solutions (GHz) are left to the imagination of the reader.
