    "abstract": "Silicon avalanche photodiodes are the most sensitive photodetectors in the\nvisible to near infrared region. However, when they are used for single photon\ndetection in a Geiger mode, they are known to emit light on the controlled\nbreakdown used to detect a photoelectron. This fluorescence light might have\nserious impacts on experimental applications like quantum cryptography or\nsingle-particle spectroscopy. We characterized the fluorescence behaviour of\nsilicon avalanche photodiodes in the experimentally simple passive quenching\nconfiguration and discuss implications for their use in quantum cryptography\nsystems.",
