Jm. Benlloch et al., TIME RESPONSE OF AVALANCHE PHOTODIODES AS A FUNCTION OF THE INTERNAL GAIN, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 409(1-3), 1998, pp. 410-413
Using a red LED and a blue laser as a light source, time response of a
valanche photodiodes and Metal-Resistive Silicon (MRS) layer avalanche
photodiodes [1] has been measured. A strong dependence of the time re
solution on the internal gain has been observed. The obtained results
show that the increase of the internal gain improves the time resoluti
on. However, there exists a critical value for the internal gain. Beyo
nd this value a deterioration of the time resolution is observed. (C)
