Influence of hot-carrier luminescence from avalanche photodiodes on time-correlated photon detection

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present the results of our time-resolved measurements of hot-carrier luminescence from passively quenched Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes. In time-correlated photon-counting (TCPC) experiments, hot-carrier luminescence interferes overwhelmingly with the coincidence spectrum, which results in artifacts. This potential problem should be taken into account in setting up TCPC experiments.
