摘要：
An In0.53Ga0.47As-InP avalanche photodiode with very low dark current (0.15 pA at 95% breakdown voltage, 200 K) has been characterized in gated mode for single-photon detection. The temperature dependence of dark current and dark count yields activation energy of similar to 0.4 eV from 240 K to 297 K. High single-photon detection efficiency (SPDE) at telecom wavelengths with very low dark count rate (DCR) (e.g., DCR = 12 kHz at SPDE = 45% at 1.31 mu m and 200 K) was achieved.
