Lasermate offers avalanche photodiodes (APDs) in both silicon (Si) and indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) materials. Avalanche photodiodes are with internal gain produced by the application of a reverse voltage. As compared to PIN photodiodes, APDs exhibit higher sensitivity, higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), fast time response, and low dark current.
