  • Abstract
    The dependence of the relative phase shift in a silicon avalanche photodiode on the multiplication is used for the determination of the intrinsic response time in the avalanche region. The value of the intrinsic response time of a silicon avalanche photodiode was found to be 0.85 ps. The procedure used to estimate the equivalent-circuit parameters of the detector is also described.
