Abstract
A method for controlling an avalanche photo diode (APD) and a device that includes a high gain stable APD. The device may include an APD, a compensation circuit that comprises a compensation component that is thermally coupled to the APD, a temperature control module having a part that is thermally coupled to the compensation component and to the APD, and one or more additional components. The APD is formed within a first semiconductor epitaxial layer that is grown on a first side of a substrate, the substrate is highly thermally conductive and electrically insulating.
