Abstract
Dependence of the gain and the dark current on bias voltage, has been studied for the S8148 Hamamatsu avalanche photodiode (APD) over a wide range of temperatures. It was found that at T=108 K this APD can operate at a gain close to 10 000. At T=108 K the combination of the S8148 APD operated in proportional mode and the low noise amplifier allows photon counting with high efficiency, while keeping the noise count rate at a relatively low level.
