摘　　要：A low-noise photodetector is a basic tool for the research of quantum information processing. We present a specially designed low-noise photoelectric detector with a bandwidth of 130 MHz, using a transimpedance amplification circuit. Based on the detailed calculation of the dependence on each parameter of the detector,a useful method of how to design a low-noise and broadband photodetector is provided. When the optical power is between 1.0 and 16 m W, the photodetector has a good linear response to the injected light. Its electronics noise power is below-77 d Bm, which is within the whole bandwidth. When the incident light power is 2 m W, the output noise powers are 10.0, 8.0, and 6.0 d B higher than the corresponding electronics noise within the bandwidth of 1–50, 50–90, and 90–130 MHz, respectively, which is in good agreement with the theoretical prediction.Thus, this photoelectric detector could have good application prospects in quantum communication and an optical cavity locking system.A low-noise photodetector is a basic tool for the research of quantum information processing.
