0.5 billion events per second time correlated single photon counting using CMOS SPAD arrays.
We present a digital architecture for fast acquisition of time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) events from a 32×32 complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) single photon avalanche detector (SPAD) array (Megaframe) to the computer memory. Custom firmware was written to transmit event codes from 1024-TCSPC-enabled pixels for fast transfer of TCSPC events. Our 1024-channel TCSPC sy...
متن کاملTime-Correlated Single Photon Counting
Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful analysis tool in fundamental physics as well as in the life sciences. Implementing it in the time domain requires recording the time dependent intensity profile of the emitted light upon excitation by a short flash of light, typically a laser pulse. While in principle, one could attempt to record the time decay profile of the signal from a s...
متن کاملSingle Photon Counting Performance and Noise Analysis of CMOS SPAD-Based Image Sensors
SPAD-based solid state CMOS image sensors utilising analogue integrators have attained deep sub-electron read noise (DSERN) permitting single photon counting (SPC) imaging. A new method is proposed to determine the read noise in DSERN image sensors by evaluating the peak separation and width (PSW) of single photon peaks in a photon counting histogram (PCH). The technique is used to identify and...
متن کاملDistortions from Multi-photon Triggering in a Single CMOS SPAD
Motivated by the need for correct characterization and operation of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), three methods for discriminating between singleand multi-photon triggering in a single CMOS SPAD are compared. The first method, utilizing a measurement of the avalanche’s quench time, correctly distinguishes between avalanches initiated by one photon or 100 incident photons with p > 0.80...
متن کاملFour-dimensional multiphoton microscopy with time-correlated single-photon counting.
We report on the implementation of fluorescence-lifetime imaging in multiphoton excitation microscopy that uses PC-compatible modules for time-correlated single-photon counting. Four-dimensional data stacks are produced with each pixel featuring fluorescence-decay curves that consist of as many as 4096 bins. Fluorescence lifetime(s) and their amplitude(s) are extracted by statistical methods at...
