The high performance avalanche photodiodes (APDs) have enabled impressive applications in aerospace technology. APDs high sensitivity, built-in gain characteristics in detecting very low light levels even down to a single photon, low noise levels and high signal-to-noise ratio properties are well suited to space-based LIDAR systems surveying atmospheric and terrestrial conditions.
