Gain and external quantum efficiencies of greater than 100%.Useful as detectors in fiber-optic systems. Main parametersSensitivity (gain) Response time ( bandwidth ):Trade-offFor pin photodetector, the sensitivity determined by bandwidth or response time, and the response time is dependent on the depletion region width.F
