Gain Mechanisms

Gain Mechanisms is a physical process in photodetectors that belongs to the class of signal amplification phenomena, distinguished by its role in enhancing the photocurrent through the multiplication of photogenerated charge carriers via intrinsic mechanisms such as avalanche or photoconductive gain.
