  • Abstract
    Theoretical and experimental results for the output noise spectral density of avalanche photodiodes with nearly-unilateral-carrier multiplication are combined to obtain both the quantum efficiency and the noise factor from noise measurements over the operating range of multiplication factors. A noise factor of 2+0.012 M is reported for a silicon diode.
