Abstract: There is given a comparative evaluation of linear and switching mode operation of avalanche photodiodes in a quantum key distribution. It is shown that at low speeds, the linear mode is more resistant to interference, and a Geiger one provides a maximum key generation rate.
Keywords: quantum cryptography, avalanche photodiode photon counting, linear and geiger modes
