What is Avalanche Photodiode?

What is Avalanche Photodiode? An avalanche photodiode (APD) is a type of photodetector device that works on the principle of avalanche breakdown in semiconductor materials. It is designed to convert incident light into electrical current with the ability to internally amplify the signal. The APD consists of a PN junction, which is reverse biased to … Read more
