Deskripsi

The limited recovery speed of the single-photon avalanche diodes due to the passive resistor in series strongly reduces the detector’s frequency response. Here Zheng et al., overcome this problem by using an adaptive resistive switch and reaching an avalanche pulse width as small as 30 ns.
