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

How will you differentiate the diodes whether it is Zener or avalanche when you are given two diodes of rating 6.2 v and 24V?
Oh, what a happy little question! To differentiate between Zener and avalanche diodes, you can look at their voltage ratings. A Zener diode typically has a lower voltage rating, like 6.2V, while an avalanche diode usually has a higher voltage rating, like 24V. Just remember, each diode has its own special purpose and they all bring joy to our electronic landscapes.

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.

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
Why lightly doped diode is used in avalanche breakdown?
Lightly doped diodes are used in avalanche breakdown because their lower impurity concentration allows for a wider depletion region, which enhances the electric field within the diode. This strong electric field facilitates the acceleration of charge carriers, leading to impact ionization when the reverse bias exceeds a certain threshold. As a result, the diode can sustain high reverse voltages and trigger avalanche breakdown, enabling applications such as voltage regulation and protection circuits.
