Avalanche photodiode
HIGHLY SENSITIVE SEMICONDUCTOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Avalanche photo-diode; Avalanche photodiodes; Excess noise factor
An avalanche photodiode (APD) is a highly sensitive semiconductor photodiode detector that exploits the photoelectric effect to convert light into electricity. From a functional standpoint, they can be regarded as the semiconductor analog of photomultiplier tubes.
