Which risk significantly increases when excessive optical power enters photodiode?

💡 Explanation

Excessive power causes photodiode saturation because the charge carriers cannot be swept out quickly enough leading to a distorted output. Therefore, photodiode saturation is the effect, rather than improved SNR, which would be optimal at moderate operating power.
