Recent results on Limited Geiger-mode Microcell Silicon Photodiode (LGP) are described. Two new modifications of LGP have been designed and produced. Each of them consists of 10(4) pixels 10 x 10 mu m(2) size with area of 1 mm(2). These pixels operate as an independent photon counters, giving the output signal as a sum of the signals from pixels fired by photons. The effective "gain" is large ( x 10(5)). The efficiency of the visible light photon detection of few percents has been measured. Low-temperature dark rate dependence has been studied. The timing by LGP at the level of 100 ps (FWHM) was found. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
