  • Abstract
    An InGaAs/InP single-photon avalanche photodiode (SPAD) with a high differential gain was achieved by changing the multiplication region thickness and the sheet charge density of the charge layer. A gain of more than 100 was obtained. The DCR is less than 1k with the frequency up to 250 kHz.
