Original Abstract

This paper describes a design of mixed-active quenching circuit for single-photon avalanche diodes. All parameters of quenching circuit are controlled by microcomputer. An avalanche pulse charge is minimized by means of a mixed passive-active quenching approach, thus reducing self-heating and afterpulsing effect. The prototype of quenching circuit was built in our laboratory.

Key words in English

Avalanche photodiodes, active quenching circuit
