Fundamental properties have been examined in our test bench. • Clear signal from single photon light has been observed, and total gain of ~7,500 was obtained. • Reasonable uniformity of gain and signal-to-noise responses found • X-talk seems to be small • The next prototype having higher avalanche gain will be delivered soon.
