A theoretical treatment of the noise current of quantum-well infrared photodetectors in the presence of avalanche multiplication is presented. Avalanche multiplication results in a characteristic excess noise which is expressed as a function of the avalanche multiplication factor and the capture probability. The multiplication factor can thus be determined from the photoconductive gain and the noise gain.
