Introducing students to single photon detection with a reverse-biased LED in avalanche mode
written by
Lowell I. McCann
An inexpensive experiment using a reverse-biased LED as an avalanche photodiode is described. The experiment is rich in physics topics and experimental techniques, allowing students to explore the statistics of random events, basic discriminator circuits, and the behavior of avalanche photodiodes.
