Time estimation with multichannel digital silicon photomultipliers.
Accuracy in timemark estimation is crucial for time-of-flight positron emission tomography, in order to ensure high quality images after reconstruction. Since the introduction of multichannel digital silicon photomultipliers, it is possible to acquire several photoelectron timestamps for each individual gamma event. We study several timemark estimators based on multiple photoelectron timestamps...
متن کاملCherenkov luminescence measurements with digital silicon photomultipliers: a feasibility study
BACKGROUND A feasibility study was done to assess the capability of digital silicon photomultipliers to measure the Cherenkov luminescence emitted by a β source. Cherenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) is possible with a charge coupled device (CCD) based technology, but a stand-alone technique for quantitative activity measurements based on Cherenkov luminescence has not yet been developed. Silico...
متن کاملGphotons/s TCSPC with XOR Digital Silicon Photomultipliers
Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) arrays are widely used in many scientific applications for Time Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) thanks to the high timing resolution and single photon precision [1,2]. However, at high photon rates, such systems suffer from photon pile-up effect [3]. In our recent work [4], we have demonstrated a high throughput (14 Gsamples/s) Time-to-Digital Conv...
متن کاملTiming optimization utilizing order statistics and multichannel digital silicon photomultipliers.
We present an optimization technique utilizing order statistics with a multichannel digital silicon photomultiplier (MD-SiPM) for timing measurements. Accurate timing measurements are required by 3D rangefinding and time-of-flight positron emission tomography, to name a few applications. We have demonstrated the ability of the MD-SiPM to detect multiple photons, and we verified the advantage of...
متن کاملPhoton Detection with Silicon Photomultipliers
The Silicon Photomultiplier (SPM) addresses the challenge of detecting, timing and quantifying low-light signals down to the single-photon level. Traditionally the province of the Photomultiplier Tube (PMT), Avalanche Photodiode (APD), or PIN photodiode with high-gain amplifier, the Silicon Photomultiplier now offers a highly attractive alternative that closely mimics the low light detection ca...
