Digital alloy AlInAsSb avalanche photodiodes exhibit low excess noise comparable to those fabricated from Si. The electron and hole ionization coefficients are critical parameters for simulation and analysis of high-sensitivity receivers. We report ionization coefficients using a mixed injection technique that employs measurement of the gain for different incident wavelengths and a simulation algorithm.
