Abstract
Linear mode and Geiger mode Avalanche Photodiodes are widely used to detect weak optical signals, with the latter able to detect a single photon at a time. Practical simulators for these devices should accurately produce relevant device characteristics and not be overly computationally intensive. The Simple Monte Carlo Simulator, written in C++, offers such a combination and can simulate avalanche photodiodes made with Silicon, Gallium Arsenide and Indium Gallium Phosphide, with the potential to include other semiconductor materials. The software is available on The University of Sheffield Research Data Catalogue and Repository at https://doi.org/10.15131/shef.data.5683939 and on GitHub at https://github.com/jdpetticrew/Simple-Monte-Carlo-Simulator.
