(i) you have a p-i-n photodetector that you cool to -20° c. you reverse bias it, and measure a current (with no illumination) of 0.5 na. it is connected to a load resistor of 100 kq, and input amplifier. the photodetector can be assumed to be ideal in that to an each incident photon is converted into an electron-hole pair that is then collected as photocurrent. the measurement bandwidth is 100 mhz, and the average received photon flux is 1012 photons per second. calculate the signal-to-noise ratio at the amplifier input (5 marks) briefly explain the process of impact ionization that occurs in an avalanche photodiode (apd) (ii) (2 marks) (iii)the ability of electrons and holes to impact ionize are characterized by ionization coefficients ae and a. the ionization ratio is defined as k = ah/ae. explain why it is generally desirable to have k 0 or k z co in an avalanche photodiode (apd) include in your answer a description of the physical process that can occur if we do not have k 0 or k z co. provide at least two reasons why this process leads to apd performance characteristics that are detrimental for many applications of apds

Two conductors, a and b, are each in the shape of a tetrahedron. but of different sizes. they are charged in the following manner: 1. tetrahedron a is charged from an electrostatic generator to charge q. 2. tetrahedron a is briefly touched to tetrahedron b. 3. steps 1 and 2 are repeated until the charge on tetrahedron b reaches a maximum value. if the charge on tetrahedron b was q/4 after the first time it touched tetrahedron a. what is the final charge qbmax on tetrahedron b?

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
