Abstract
The rate of data transfer through an optical communication channel with a photon counter based on an avalanche photodiode being used as a detector in this channel is studied. The rate of data transfer through the optical channel is found as a function of the reverse bias voltage of the photodiode, the optical signal power, and the threshold level of detection.
