The influence of the temperature on the signal-to-noise 
ratio  in the optoelectronic recirculation circuit of an information-measuring 
system with an avalanche photodetector has been analyzed. It has been 
established that the temperature dependence of the pulse power of 
an injection laser has an influence on the width and position of the 
maximum in the temperature dependence of  at the output of 
the photodetector in a recirculation-type system. Methods of maintenance 
of the avalanche multiplication factor of a photodetector at a given 
level have been proposed and their efficiency has been estimated.
