The main types of photoreceivers discussed below are those that can detect optical signals with fast temporal responses or those containing high frequency components as well as detectors that are sensitive to low light levels or small differential changes in signals. Depending on the type of semiconductor used, the detectors can have spectral sensitivities anywhere from the UV region of the spectrum to the NIR. Furthermore, depending on the application being targeted, they can possess either free-space or fiber-coupled configurations.
