The document discusses the operation and properties of avalanche photodiodes. APDs have higher sensitivity than regular photodiodes due to internal gain, but also higher noise. The gain is produced by accelerated electrons producing additional electrons through impact ionization. The noise is due to random fluctuations in the impact ionization process.
