摘要：
The resolution of Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes in single photon timing is shown to be dependent on the diameter of the illuminated area. For the RCA C30902S device at room temperature, an improvement in the resolution from 460 to 320 ps FWHM (full width at half maximum) is demonstrated by concentrating the light in a 50-mu-m-diam spot in the center of the active area. The physical reasons that can justify such a result are dealt with. The resolution curve is affected by a tail due to diffusion effects. The tail shape and amplitude are investigated for different positions of the light spot on the active area and shown to be strongly position dependent. An analysis of the device structure accounts for this effect.
