Abstract(in English) The excess noise and ionization coefficient ratio of InAlAs avalanche photodiodes (APDs) for Gbps optical fiber communication have been measured. To obtain these values accurately, we used a differential amplifier, and determined the optical current at which the avalanche multiplication = 1. These made possible the excess noise measurement including the low multiplication region. Excess noise was slightly dependent on the optical input intensity, decreasing at high incident optical intensities. Measured ionization coefficient ratio at M=10 was 0.18 and 0.17 with multiplication layer width 0.2 and 0.7μm respectively.
