Abstract
Low frequency noise spectra of five SAGCM APDs were measured. The experimental noise current spectra were fitted with SI=AFIdx/fy+2qI dMeff. Any enhancement in shot noise was included in Meff. The AF factors were found to vary from 10 -7 to 10-5 and were related to the I-V characteristics of these APDs
