Si APD (avalanche photodiode) Selection guide
2021-09-23
●High-speed, high sensitivity photodiodes having an internal gain mechanism
●The APD is a high-speed, high-sensitivity photodiode that internally multiplies photocurrent when reverse voltage is applied. The APD, having a signal multiplication function inside its element, achieves higher S/N than the PIN photodiode and can be used in a wide range of applications such as high-accuracy rangefinders and low-light-level detection that use scintillators. Though the APD can detect lower level light than the PIN photodiode, it does require special care and handling such as the need for higher reverse voltage and more detailed consideration of its temperature-dependent gain characteristics.
