Investigation of the amplitude distribution of microplasma pulses with a dual-mode avalanche photodiode
The study of the amplitude distribution of microplasma pulses with the simultaneous implementation of the photon counting mode and the current mode for avalanche photodiodes was performed. The modes of operation are realized with a constant avalanche photodiode supply voltage exceeding the breakdown voltages of its p-n-junction. The effect on the amplitude of microplasma pulses of the magnitude of the avalanche photodiode supply voltage and the intensity of optical radiation is determined.
