Description

The excess noise factor (ENF) of a large area avalanche photodiode was measured as a function of gain for different temperatures, in the -40 to 27°C range. Results show that ENF does not depend significantly with temperature attaining values of about 1.8 and 2.3 for gains of 50 and 300, respectively. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TJM-4CMMX05-D/1/34a0ba40f32ddab67adeb9313913fec4
