Recognizing the features and benefits of each type of light sensor will allow for the proper selection in specific requirements. The three most common photodetectors are the photomultiplier (PMT), the ...

The avalanche multiplication effect can be used to detect low-power optical signals and even single- photons due to the amplification mechanism within all main: near- (NIR), short- (SWIR), mid- (MWIR) ...

The integration of silicon‐germanium technology in photonic devices has transformed optoelectronics, enabling the realisation of high‐speed, high‐sensitivity detectors that are central to modern ...

Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GM-APDs) are highly sensitive light detectors, capable of detecting single photons. Photons of certain wavelengths, when absorbed by photodiodes, generate ...

Measuring low light levels can be a challenge, especially at high speeds. Tim Stokes explains why avalanche photodiodes are often an attractive solution to the problem. Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) ...
