Abstract
We present the first study of multiplication noise for three orientations of electric field in germanium avalanche photodiodes (APD’s). The directional differences of noise are found to be rather weak by the measurements using a He‐Ne laser (6328 Å). The differences obtained, 0.5 dB, were comparable in value to the experimental errors.Keywords
