Abstract
Silicon photomultipliers’ relatively large areas and ability to detect single photons make them attractive as receivers for optical wireless communications. In this paper, the relative importance of the non-linearity and width of SiPMs’ fast output in their performance in receivers is investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. Using these results, the performances of receivers containing different SiPMs are estimated. This is followed by a discussion of the potential performances of arrays of existing SiPMs. Finally, the possible dramatic improvements in performance that could be achieved by using two stacked integrated circuits are highlighted.
