✦ Synopsis

The excess noise factor (ENF) of a large area avalanche photodiode was measured as a function of gain for different temperatures, in the À40 to 27 C range. Results show that ENF does not depend significantly with temperature attaining values of about 1.8 and 2.3 for gains of 50 and 300, respectively.
