description

The aim of the present work is the characterization of the S8898–128–02 Avalanche PhotoDiode array (APDs) from Hamamatsu Photonics. This work includes the implementation of a readout system as well as electronic noise estimation in APDs under several conditions varying integration times and clock frequencies.
