Characterization of silicon avalanche photodiodes for photon correlation measurements 1: Passive quenching

Abstract

We examine the photon correlation and other vital performance characteristics of silicon avalanche photodiodes operated in photon counting or the Geiger mode, and assess their suitability as detectors for photon correlation spectroscopy and laser velocimetry measurements.
