1. A photodetector, comprising:

  • a plurality of single-photon avalanche diodes or avalanche photodiodes, at least one of the plurality of single-photon avalanche diodes or avalanche photodiodes comprising an un-depleted anode and cathode region which are separated by one or more conductive trenches that extend completely between the anode region and cathode region, wherein the one or more conductive trenches define an active volume of the at least one single-photon avalanche diode or avalanche photodiode and are configured to reflect light back into the active volume of the at least one single-photon avalanche diode or avalanche photodiode.
