Abstract
An improved circuit for actively quenching and recharging avalanche photodiodes (APDs) which allows them to be biased to at least 30V above breakdown is presented. Using this circuit it is possible to achieve the high single photon detection efficiency inherent in Geiger mode APDs while maintaining a modest deadtime. The circuit is described and observed characteristics of the system are shown.
