Study of dark counts in Geiger mode In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As/In/sub 0.52/Al/sub 0.48/As SACM APDs

This study demonstrates 1.52 /spl mu/m Geiger mode operation of an In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As/In/sub 0.52/Al/sub 0.48/As APD. A study of the origin of dark count rate in this detector is also presented.
