Scientific paper

At the Wettzell Laser Ranging System (WLRS, Germany), the Avalanche Photodiode SP114 was operated successfully at a wavelength of 532 nm as well as at 1.064 micrometers . The detector was found to have a high sensitivity, a high accuracy and was convenient to use. To analyze it's sensitivity in detail, a common experiment was planned and carried out, at the Lunar Laser Ranging Station in Grasse (France). This ranging experiment to the most demanding targets allowed a direct comparison between the well known characteristics of the RCA 31034a photomultiplier and the SP114. Under varying configurations, measurements were taken from all lunar targets. It was found, that the SP114 had a sensitivity and accuracy far above the photomultiplier.
