      Table 1. Comparison among PIN、APD and PMT

      DetectorAdvantageDisadvantageScene for use
      PIN-PDFast response speed, lower cost, good resistance to ambient light and unity gainThermal noise and difficult trade-off between response speed and quantum efficiencyShort-wavelength scene
      APDLong response time , higher internal gain than that of PIN-PD, and high quantum efficiencyHigh bias voltage, complex control circuit, sensitivity to environmental noise, and shot noise limitationLong-wave receivers, long-distance transmission and high-rate systems
      PMTHigh sensitivity, high frequency response, high gain, low noise and large collection areaLarge size, large power consumption, bad overexposure tolerance, vulnerability in shock and vibration, and high costStatic link
