Avalanche Photodiodes: Key to High-Speed Communication

Introduction The avalanche photodiode (APD) is a highly responsive semiconductor device that converts light into electric signals using the photoelectric effect. First designed in 1952 by the Japanese engineer Jun-ichi Nishizawa, the APD has become a key component in various applications, especially in fiber-optic communication systems. In recent years, graphene layers have been added to […]
