A specific voltage, Vop, is supplied with each device. When the photodiode is operated at this voltage (at 22°C), the device will meet the electrical characteristic limits shown above. The voltage value will be within the range of 40 to 70 volts. 2. The voltage dependence of the gain, for gains above 4, is given approximately by the following empirical formula: M =50/ (Vb-Vop). Rough approximate of the sensitivity. 3. Gain and quantum efficiency are not directly measurable quantities. The numbers quoted are estimated typical values. Gain, quantum efficiency and responsivity are related by the following: R =ŋλM /1.24 where λ is the wavelength in units of mm, ŋ is the quantum efficiency, M is gain. 4. The detector noise current / Hz1/2 is given by the following expression: in = (2q (ls+lbM 2 1/2 F)) Where: F = keffM + (1 - keff) (2-1/M) and ls and lb are the unmultiplied and multiplied portions of the dark current, respectively. The total dark current is given by: It = ls+lbM. However, since both ls and lb are somewhat voltage dependent, and M is not directly measurable (see Note 3), it is not usually possible to determine both ls and lb unambiguously. Since system performance depends on noise current and responsivity, these measurable quantities are the ones that have been specified. 5. Most devices can be operated at gains up to about 30 or more, but with values of noise current correspondingly higher, as indicated by the discussion in Note 4 above. www.optoelectronics.perkinelmer.com Page 2 InGaAs Avalanche Photodiode C30645E/C30662E Series Table 2.
