More Information
Summary:A photodetector according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of light detectors. Each light detector has a first semiconductor layer of a first conductive type and a second semiconductor layer of a second conductive type different from the first conductive type, in which the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer constitute a PN junction. The photodetector further includes a quench resistor that is optically transmissive and connected to the second semiconductor layer.
