Abstract
An optical sensing apparatus includes an optical signal receiving circuit configured to receive a photocurrent signal from an optoelectronic detector and generate a differential voltage signal. The optical signal receiving circuit includes a transimpedance amplifier coupled to the optoelectronic detector and configured to convert the photocurrent signal from the optoelectronic detector into a first voltage signal. The optical signal receiving circuit includes a first power source configured to provide a first bias voltage for the optoelectronic detector. The optical signal receiving circuit includes an adjustment circuit coupled to the transimpedance amplifier and configured to adjust the first voltage signal to generate a second voltage signal. The optical signal receiving circuit includes a single-ended-to-differential converter coupled to the adjustment circuit and configured to convert the second voltage signal into the differential voltage signal.
