Avalanche photodiode

Japanese: アバランシェフォトダイオード - あばらんしぇふぉとだいおーど
Avalanche photodiode

…The photoelectric conversion effect includes the photovoltaic effect and photoconductive effect that utilize the interband absorption of semiconductors, the photoconductive phenomenon from impurity energy levels, and photoelectron emission in phototubes. Photodetectors for optical fiber communications include photodiodes and avalanche photodiodes made of semiconductors. In the former, electron-hole pairs are generated by the light incident on the light-receiving surface. …
