摘要
Photon counting, or Geiger-mode, measurements of GaAn APDs were carried out. The photon detection efficiency (PDE) at 325 nm and dark count rate were measured as a function of the applied voltage bias. A PDE of 13% was observed at a dark count rate of 400 KHz. The best devices exhibit leakage current less than 20nA at 90% of breakdown voltage.
