unusual facts about avalanche photodiode



Silicon photomultiplier

Silicon photomultipliers, often called "SiPM" in the literature, are Silicon single photon sensitive devices built from an avalanche photodiode (APD) array on common Si substrate.

Single-molecule FRET

Fluorescence signal is detected either using ultra sensitive CCD or CMOS cameras for wide field microscopy or avalanche photodiodes for confocal microscopy.
