Abstract
In order to ensure the optimum operating of the avalanche photodiode(APD) in the laser gyro under different temperature conditions
an effect of the temperature on the avalanche gain is analyzed based on the principle of APD multiplication.A mathematic model of the false alarm ratio(FAR) and the multiplication factor of APD is established.The obtained reality temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage of the device is 6.088×10-3 /℃ by monitoring FAR for avalanche noise.The compensation according to the actual temperature coefficient is advantageous to enhance the stability of the APD gain.
