Abstract
The subject of detectors for optical communications in the visible and near-infrared regions of the spectrum is reviewed. The three generic types of detectors described are photomultipliers, photodiodes and avalanche photodiodes, Although the discussion is from the perspective of space-based applications, most of the information (excluding, perhaps, the material on photomultipliers) is applicable to other optical communications systems (e.g., fiber optics).
