    In this paper, we present a stable single-photon detection method based on Si-avalanche photodiode (Si-APD) operating in Geiger mode with a large temperature variation range. By accurate temperature sensing and direct current (DC) bias voltage compensation, the single-photon detector can work stably in Geiger mode from ?40 °C to 35 °C with an almost constant avalanche gain. It provides a solution for single-photon detection at outdoor operation in all-weather conditions.
