Advantages:
There are some advantages of avalanche photodiode which are given below,
- The avalanche photodiode has greater level of sensitivity.
Disadvantages:
There are some disadvantages of avalanche photodiode which are given below,
- The avalanche photodiode gives a much higher level of noise than a p-n photodiode.
- The avalanche process means that the output is not linear.
- In avalanche photodiode much higher operating voltage may be required.
