ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for slow tail compensation are provided. A photodetector signal is pre-amplified to thereby produce an uncompensated photodetector signal that includes a fast component and a slow component. The fast component is removed from the uncompensated photodetector signal to thereby produce a compensating signal that includes the slow component of the uncompensated photodetector signal. The compensating signal is subtracted from the uncompensated photodetector signal to thereby produce a compensated photodetector signal that includes the fast component but not the slow component.
