盖革模式雪崩光电二极管（G-APD）是近年来发展起来的，有望成为光电倍增管的替代品。它们具有许多优点，如单光子响应、高检测效率、低偏置电压下的高增益和非常好的定时特性，但它们的一些特性，例如暗计数率，可能是一个问题。市场上有几种类型的GAPD，应针对特定应用仔细选择。(c)2006 Elsevier B. V.保留所有权利。
Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (G-APDs) have been developed during recent years and promise to be an alternative to photomultiplier tubes. They have many advantages like single photon response, high detection efficiency, high gain at low bias voltage and very good timing properties but some of their properties, the dark count rate for example, can be a problem. Several types of GAPDs are on the market and should be selected carefully for a given application. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
