Low-temperature photon counting with gated mode quenching is demonstrated with separate absorption, charge, and multiplication avalanche photodiodes that have an In/sub 0.52/Al/sub 0.48/As multiplication layer. A minimum of ten dark counts per second and single-photon detection efficiency of 16% were achieved at 130 K.
