The main advantages of the avalanche photodiode include:
- Greater level of sensitivity
The disadvantages of the avalanche photodiode include:
- Much higher operating voltage may be required.
- Avalanche photodiode produces a much higher level of noise than a p-n photodiode
- Avalanche process means that the output is not linear

What is the difference between a Shockley diode and a Shottky diode?
A Shockley diode is a primitive diode identical to a thyristor with it's gate left disconnected. A Schottky diode is similar to a normal avalanche diode except that it's forward voltage is quite low, and it's switching speed is very high.

What is the disadvantage and advantage of photo diode and transistor?
photo diode donot work for long distance photo diode act as a receiver
Why the bridge rectifier is best?
What is the advantage of using the bridge rectifier A: NONE no advantage the only advantage can be considered it the fact it will provide more voltage but never more power actually less by a .7 volt diode drop
What are advantages and disadvantages of paradox?
Advantages can become disadvantages. Sometimes the disadvantages become the advantage. So, who's to say if it was an advantage or a disadvantage?
What is blocking diode?
any diode if connected to where the anode is tie to a negative potential will block that voltage. Up to the limit of the breakdown potential of the diode whereby avalanche current will destroy the diode unless current limited
