Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In one aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a photo-receiving circuit, as shown in fig. 1, including a first avalanche photodiode D1/APD1 and a second avalanche photodiode D2/APD2 arranged in an array, where one end of each of the first avalanche photodiode D1 and the second avalanche photodiode D2 is connected to a bias voltage source VCC _ APD1 (illustrated in the figure that the cathode of the avalanche photodiode is connected to a positive bias voltage), a first RC filter circuit is disposed between the bias voltage source VCC _ APD1 and the first avalanche photodiode D1, and/or a second RC filter circuit is disposed between the bias voltage source VCC _ APD1 and the second avalanche photodiode D2.
In order to improve the filtering effect, preferably, the first RC filter circuit and the second RC filter circuit are both second-order RC filter circuits, and each second-order RC filter circuit includes a first filter resistor R1/R4, a first filter capacitor C1/C3, a second filter resistor R2/R5, and a second filter capacitor C2/C4, where:
one end of the first filter resistor is connected with a bias power supply, and the other end of the first filter resistor is grounded through the first filter capacitor;
the other end of the first filter resistor is simultaneously connected with one end of the second filter resistor, the other end of the second filter resistor is grounded through the second filter capacitor, and the other end of the second filter resistor is simultaneously connected with the first avalanche photodiode or the second avalanche photodiode.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, R1, C1, R2 and C2 form a second-order RC filter circuit of the first avalanche photodiode D1, R4, C3, R5 and C4 form a second-order RC filter circuit of the second avalanche photodiode D2, the bias voltage VCC _ APD1 of the APD is applied to the first avalanche photodiode D1 through the second-order RC filter circuit formed by R1, C1, R2 and C2 shown in fig. 1, and similarly, the bias voltage VCC _ APD1 of the APD is applied to the second avalanche photodiode D2 through the second-order RC filter circuit formed by R4, C3, R5 and C4 shown in fig. 1.
The second-order RC filter circuit composed of R1, C1, R2 and C2 can filter noise of the bias voltage power supply VCC _ APD1, reduce the noise of the bias voltage power supply VCC _ APD1 coupled to the photoelectric detection unit (namely avalanche photodiode) D1, and further reduce the noise output by the photoelectric detection unit D1;
the second-order RC filter circuit composed of R4, C3, R5 and C4 can filter noise of the bias voltage power supply VCC _ APD1, reduce the noise of the bias voltage power supply VCC _ APD1 coupled to the photoelectric detection unit (namely avalanche photodiode) D2, and further reduce the noise output by the photoelectric detection unit D2;
the second-order RC filter circuit formed by R1, C1, R2 and C2 and the second-order RC filter circuit formed by R4, C3, R5 and C4 can eliminate coupling interference between the photoelectric detection units D1 and D2. For example, when the photodetecting unit D1 receives a large light pulse, a large current pulse signal is generated, because the presence of the second-order RC filter circuit formed by R1, C1, R2, and C2 and the second-order RC filter circuit formed by R4, C3, R5, and C4 can eliminate the coupling interference to the photodetecting unit D2, and prevent the output of the interference signal at the output terminal of the photodetecting unit D2. Similarly, when the photodetection unit D2 receives a large light pulse and generates a large current pulse signal, the coupling interference to the photodetection unit D1 can be eliminated due to the presence of the RC filter circuit, and the output of the interference signal at the output terminal of the photodetection unit D1 is prevented.
According to the photoelectric receiving circuit provided by the embodiment of the invention, as the RC filter circuit is adopted at the front end of the photoelectric detection units (namely avalanche photodiodes), on one hand, the influence of the noise of a bias power supply coupled to the photoelectric detection units on output signals can be reduced, on the other hand, the coupling interference of electric signals among the photoelectric detection units can be eliminated, and particularly, the crosstalk signals of large pulse current signals generated after one photoelectric detection unit receives large-energy optical pulse signals to adjacent photoelectric detection units can be effectively filtered, the false signal output of a crosstalk channel is prevented, and the misjudgment influence generated by the rear-end processing is eliminated.
During research, the inventor finds that if the light pulse received by the APD is very strong, the APD can generate very large photogenerated carriers, and the PN junction of the APD is overheated to damage the APD. To avoid this problem, preferably, a current limiting protection circuit is provided between the first RC filter circuit and the first avalanche photodiode D1 and between the second RC filter circuit and the second avalanche photodiode D2, and the current limiting protection circuit includes current limiting resistors R3 and R6 connected in series. For better current limiting, the resistance of the current limiting resistors R3, R6 may be 50-200 ohms, preferably 100 ohms.
Because the front end of the photoelectric detection unit (namely the avalanche photodiode) adopts the current-limiting protection circuit, the photoelectric detection unit can be effectively prevented from generating a large pulse current signal after receiving a large-energy optical pulse signal, and the PN junction of the photoelectric detection unit is prevented from being burnt due to overheating.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, R3 is the current limiting resistor of the first avalanche photodiode D1, and R6 is the current limiting resistor of the second avalanche photodiode D2. When the APD photodetection unit D1 receives a large optical pulse and then generates a large current pulse signal, the current pulse will generate a voltage drop across the resistor R3, resulting in a decrease in the bias voltage applied across the anode and cathode of the APD photodetection unit D1, so that the gain of the APD photodetection unit D1 is reduced, the magnitude of the current pulse generated by D1 is limited, and the photodetection unit D1 is not damaged due to an excessive current, thereby playing a role in protection.
Similarly, when the APD photodetection unit D2 receives a large optical pulse and then generates a large current pulse signal, the current pulse will generate a voltage drop across the resistor R6, which results in a decrease in the bias voltage applied across the anode and cathode of the APD photodetection unit D2, so that the gain of the APD photodetection unit D2 is reduced, the magnitude of the current pulse generated by D2 is limited, and the photodetection unit D2 is not damaged due to an excessive current, thereby playing a role in protection.
In some embodiments, the second filtering capacitors C2, C4 are preferably energy storage capacitors, and the capacitance values of the second filtering capacitors C2, C4 may be 100-300pF, preferably 220 pF. The energy storage circuit can be formed, after the photoelectric detection unit (namely the avalanche photodiode) receives a large energy light pulse signal to generate a large pulse current signal, the pulse current can flow through the current-limiting resistor, voltage drop is generated on the current-limiting resistor, the bias voltage of the photoelectric detection unit can be pulled down, the energy storage circuit can rapidly provide electric charge before the next measurement period, the bias voltage of the photoelectric detection unit is recovered, and the photoelectric detection unit can be ensured to be recovered to a normal measurement state.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, C2 may be used as an energy storage capacitor, and when the APD photodetection unit D1 receives a large optical pulse and then generates a large current pulse signal, which results in a decrease in the bias voltage at both ends of D1, the energy storage capacitor C2 can rapidly provide charges before the next measurement period, recover the bias voltage at both ends of the photodetection unit D1, and ensure that the photodetection unit D1 can recover to a normal measurement state;
similarly, C4 may be used as an energy storage capacitor, and when the APD photodetection unit D2 receives a large optical pulse and then generates a large current pulse signal, which results in a decrease in the bias voltage across D2, the energy storage capacitor C4 can rapidly provide charges before the next measurement period, recover the bias voltage across the photodetection unit D2, and ensure that the photodetection unit D2 can recover to a normal measurement state.
In a further embodiment, the first filter resistor R1/R4, the first filter capacitor C1/C3 and the second filter resistor R2/R5 constitute a charging circuit for charging the second filter capacitor C2/C4, the capacitance of the first filter capacitor may be 5-20nF, preferably 10nF, and the resistances of the first filter resistor and the second filter resistor are 5-15k ohms, preferably 10k ohms and 0.5-1.5k ohms, preferably 1k ohms, respectively. After the photoelectric detection unit (namely the avalanche photodiode) receives a large energy light pulse signal to generate a large pulse current signal, and after the energy storage circuit formed by the current-limiting protection circuit and the energy storage capacitor acts, the capacitor charge of the energy storage circuit is reduced, and the charging circuit can quickly supplement the charge of the energy storage capacitor, so that the normal work of the photoelectric detection unit is ensured.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, R1, C1, and R2 constitute a charging circuit for charging C2, when the APD photodetection unit D1 receives a large optical pulse to generate a large current pulse signal, the charge of the storage capacitor C2 is reduced, and the charging circuit formed by R1, C1, and R2 can quickly replenish the charge of the storage capacitor C2, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the photodetection unit D1;
similarly, R4, C3, and R5 constitute a charging circuit for charging C4, and when the APD photodetection unit D2 receives a large optical pulse and generates a large current pulse signal, the charge of the storage capacitor C4 decreases, and the charging circuit formed by R4, C3, and R5 can quickly replenish the charge of the storage capacitor C4, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the photodetection unit D2.
