ABSTRACT:
Gain of a photosensitive avalanche member, such as an avalanche photodiode, is stabilized so that a variation in gain of the photosensitive member in terms of temperature is compensated for by applying to the photosensitive member a bias voltage varying with temperature according to a predetermined relationship. The relationship depends on the variation with temperature in the voltage applied to terminals of at least one diode. The gain stabilizing device comprises a temperature-stabilized voltage source, a dc-dc voltage converter having an adjustable gain for applying a bias voltage to the photosensitive member, and at least one diode series-connected between the supply source and an input of the converter.
