Abstract

The statistical properties of the impulse response of avalanche photodiode (APD’s) are determined. A theory is developed based on recurrence equations. These equations are solved numerically to produce the mean current impulse response and standard deviation as function of time. In this paper we investigation of the effect of parameters such as, αw, dead space, excess noise factor, mole fraction, temperature on the mean current impulse response of APD in the geiger mode.
