摘要: The authors report on an experimental study of the effects fission neutron irradiation a silicon avalanche photodiode, which is photodetector that often used as front end receiver in fiber-optic link. Measurements indicate there degradation current gain and decrease multiplication noise after irradiation. Some recovery found to occur three days. device, however, continues behave linearly >
