A pulse amplification is modeled in a pn-i-pn structure-based photomultiplier having an internal avalanche-cascade amplification. The gain factor, the fast-action and the noise of the avalanche multiplication have been computed. The photomultipliers under investigation have proven to have a high gain factor, a low threshold of current sensitivity and a better operational reliability as compared with the avalanche photodiodes.
