a photodiode biased above breakdown so one photon triggers a self-sustaining avalanche, then quenched by a circuit, giving photon counting.

In optoelectronics, single-photon avalanche diode refers to a photodiode biased above breakdown so one photon triggers a self-sustaining avalanche, then quenched by a circuit, giving photon counting. This meaning comes from Cova (1996) in Applied Optics.[1]
