Abstract

The output of a triggered-avalanche mode avalanche photodiode is modeled as Poissondistributed primary avalanche events plus conditionally Poisson-distributed trappedcarrier-induced secondary events, The moment generating function as well as the mean and variance of the diode output statistics are derived. The dispersion of the output statistics is shown to always exceed that of the Poisson distribution. Several examples are considered in detail.
