ABSTRACT:
An avalanche photodiode has a light receiving part capable of producing an avalanche phenomenon, a carrier storage part for storing photo signal carriers that are avalanche-multiplied in the light receiving part, and a reader for reading the photo carriers from the carrier storage part, characterized by a controller, interposed between the light receiving part and the carrier storage part, for controlling an electric field applied to the light receiving part. Also, a signal processor has a plurality of avalanche photodiodes described above, characterized by an avalanche photodiode including a shift register for driving the leader.
