Neural Imaging Using Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes
Introduction: This paper analyses the ability of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) for neural imaging. The current trend in the production of SPADs moves toward the minimumdark count rate (DCR) and maximum photon detection probability (PDP). Moreover, the jitter response which is the main measurement characteristic for the timing uncertainty is progressing. Methods: The neural imaging pro...
متن کاملAn integrated active-quenching circuit for single-photon avalanche diodes
We introduce the first integrated active quenching circuit (I-AQC) that drives an avalanche photodiode (APD) above its breakdown voltage, in order to detect single photons. Based on the I-AQC, we developed a compact and versatile photon-counting module suitable for applications in which very weak optical signals have to be detected, as for instance, photon correlation spectroscopy, luminescence...

متن کاملResonant-Cavity-Enhanced Single Photon Avalanche Diodes
We present a resonant-cavity-enhanced Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) fabricated on a reflecting siliconon-insulator (SOI) substrate. The substrate incorporates a two period distributed Bragg reflector fabricated using a commercially available double-SOI process. The resonant-cavity-enhanced (RCE) SPAD detectors have peak photon detection efficiencies ranging from 41% at 780nm to 32% at 85...
متن کاملNegative Feedback Avalanche Diodes for Near-infrared Single Photon Detection
In recent years significant progress has been made in near-infrared single photon detection using Geiger-mode InPbased single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). A more detailed understanding of these detectors with regard to device design, material growth and device fabrication has led to continual performance improvements. A variety of circuits for enabling SPAD Geiger-mode operation have been p...
