Automated Characterization of Single-photon Avalanche Photodiode
We report an automated characterization of a single-photon detector based on commercial silicon avalanche photodiode (PerkinElmer C30902SH). The photodiode is characterized by I-V curves at different illumination levels (darkness, 10 pW and 10 μW), dark count rate and photon detection efficiency at different bias voltages. The automated characterization routine is implemented in C++ running on ...
متن کاملExperimental multi-photon-resolving detector using a single avalanche photodiode
There is an increasing need for identifying the number of photons that is contained within a weak light pulse or time interval of a weak cw light field. A device capable of photon-number resolution would contribute both to fundamental research in the area of quantum optics and to more-or-less practical quantum communication systems, such as quantum key distribution schemes [1]. In the former ca...
متن کاملCharacterization of a novel avalanche photodiode for single photon detection in VIS-NIR range.
In this work we investigate operation in the Geiger mode of the new single photon avalanche photo diode (SPAD) SAP500 manufactured by Laser Components. This SPAD is sensitive in the range 400-1000 nm and has a conventional reach-through structure which ensures good quantum efficiency at the long end of the spectrum. By use of passive and active quenching schemes we investigate detection efficie...
متن کاملNeural 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 کاملCharacterization of a Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiode
A 32 by 32 array of packaged 100 μm Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes were tested and characterized. A breakdown voltage of 32 V was measured; at or just above this voltage is where the device should be biased in order to operate in Geiger-mode. The ideal region of the forward biased IV curve resulted in an ideality factor of 1.0 and no recombination/generation region. In addition, IDL code was...
