ABSTRACT:
This disclosure is generally concerned with devices for determining photocurrent levels. One example of such a device is an optoelectronic device that includes a photodetector. The photodetector is configured to receive an optical signal and generate a corresponding electrical signal. The electrical signal is received by a pre-amplifier circuit which then converts the received electrical signal to a differential output. Finally, a post-amplifier circuit in communication with the first stage circuit is configured to derive an optical signal strength of the optical signal based upon the differential output received from the pre-amplifier circuit.
