This paper discusses the performance of a Silicon based avalanche photodiode, SAP500, that is able to operate in Geiger and linear mode. This detector is based on a 'reach through' structure for excellent quantum efficiency, extremely low bulk dark current and noise and can achieve high gains as they are designed for ultra-low light level applications.
