How Avalanche Photodiodes Work

The APD410 is ideally suited for applications requiring highest sensitivity for low level input signals in the UV to visible range.

An avalanche photodiode (APD) is a highly sensitive type of photodiode, which in general are semiconductor diodes that convert light into electricity

For low-light detection in the 200 to 1150 nm range, the designer has three basic detector choices - the silicon PIN detector, the silicon avalanche ...

An Avalanche Photodiode (APD) provides higher sensitivity than a standard photodiode and is for extreme low-level light (LLL) detection and photon counting.

APDs are photodiodes with internal gain produced by the application of a reverse voltage. They have a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) than PIN photodiodes.

Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are used to detect extremely weak light intensities. Silicon (Si) APDs are used in the wavelength range from UV to NIR (250 nm to ...

Avalanche Photodiode (APD). Silicon Avalanche Photodiodes make use of internal multiplication to achieve gain due to impact ionization.

An avalanche photodiode is a semiconductor-based photodetector (photodiode) which is operated with a relatively high reverse voltage (typically tens or even ...
