Hi Lalit,
I think the value 50 Ohms that has been assigned for the PIN photodetectors is more or less chosen due to same reason as why this value is used in mircowave communications. The physical explanation states something about light entering an area with a different refractive index that the area light has been in before and load resistance being calculated so. So it makes sense if there is no option for changing it in Optisystem.
