Gain dispersion in visible light photon counters as a function of counting rate

We present measurements of light signals using visible light photon counters (VLPC), that indicate an increase in gain dispersion as the counting rate increases. We show that this dispersion can be understood on the basis of a recent observation of localized field reduction in VLPCs at high input rates.
