Solid state photon counters and their applications in space related projects
Original language description
We are presenting a review of the solid state photon counters developed in our laboratories and their applications in various space related projects. The solid state photon counters are the avalanche photodiode structures which are operated in so calledGeiger mode, they are pulse biased above their breakdown voltage. In such a stage the first charge carrier generated by a photon or some noise event will trigger an avalanche multiplication of carriers and hence the macroscopic current on the output contacts. The external circuit is used to terminate the avalanche and to set up the bias for the new detection. We have prepared these photon counters on the basis of the common semiconducting materials Silicon, Germanium, SiGe mixture, GaAs, GaP, and GaAsP.
