Abstract
Methods and systems for replicating current outputs from a photodetector include using a transimpedance (TIA) amplifier to directly generate a TIA output voltage that is linear with optical power at the photodetector. Additionally, a first logarithmic amplifier is used to generate a first output voltage from the photodetector current and a second logarithmic amplifier is used to generate a second voltage from a copy of the photodetector current. The first voltage and the second voltage may be linear in some cases with the optical power in decibels.
