Limitations of Geiger-Mode Arrays for Flash LADAR Applications
It is shown through physics-based Monte Carlo simulations of avalanche photodiode (APD) LADAR receivers that under typical operating scenarios, Geiger-mode APD (GmAPD) flash LADAR receivers may often be ineffective. These results are corroborated by analysis of the signal photon detection efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio metrics. Due to their ability to detect only one pulse per laser shot,...
متن کاملProbabilistic analysis of Linear Mode vs Geiger Mode APD FPAs for advanced LADAR enabled interceptors
To meet evolving ballistic missile threats, advanced seekers will include a multi-modal imaging capability in which a passive singleor multi-band infrared focal plane array (FPA) shares a common aperture with an active laser radar (LADAR) receiver – likely, a photon-counting LADAR receiver that can resolve photon times of arrival with subnanosecond resolution. The overall success of such a syst...
متن کاملGeiger-mode avalanche-photodiodes as readout for the CALIFA detector
The CALIFA spectrometer, which surrounds the RB target, will be used for detection of gamma-rays and highenergy protons. Of particular interest for this detector the energy resolution and its dependence on different configurations and components has to be studied. Cs(Tl) crystals with photomultiplier tubes (PMT) or avalanchephotodiodes (APD) readout as well as LaBr3(Ce) so far with PMT readout ...
متن کاملNovel type of avalanche photodetector with Geiger mode operation
A novel type of avalanche photodetector with Geiger mode operation, known as Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) is presented. Development of photodetectors for the detection of low intensity photon flux is one of the critical issues for experimental physics, medical tomography and many others. The structure of the photodetector is based on metal–resistor semiconductor (MRS) microcells with a densit...
متن کاملSimulation of a Geiger-Mode Imaging LADAR System for Performance Assessment
As LADAR systems applications gradually become more diverse, new types of systems are being developed. When developing new systems, simulation studies are an essential prerequisite. A simulator enables performance predictions and optimal system parameters at the design level, as well as providing sample data for developing and validating application algorithms. The purpose of the study is to pr...
