FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: method of reducing spectral density of photodiode diffusion current fluctuation in high frequency range involves applying reverse bias V across a p-n junction with a short base and a blocking contact to the base, said reverse bias satisfying the conditions 3kT < q|V| < Vb,t and 3kt < q|V| < Vb,a, where: k is Boltzmann constant; T is temperature; q is electron charge; Vb,t is tunnel breakdown voltage; Vb,a is avalanche breakdown voltage.
EFFECT: disclosed method enables to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the photodiode in the high frequency range by reducing spectral range of diffusion current fluctuation.
