Performance of Thin Separate Absorption, Charge, and Multiplication Avalanche Photodiodes
Previously, it has been demonstrated that resonantcavity-enhanced separate-absorption-and-multiplication (SAM) avalanche photodiodes (APD’s) can achieve high bandwidths and high gain–bandwidth products while maintaining good quantum efficiency. In this paper, we describe a GaAs-based resonant-cavity-enhanced SAM APD that utilizes a thin charge layer for improved control of the electric field pr...
متن کاملAssessment of X-Ray Crosstalk in a Computed Tomography Scanner with Small Detector Elements Using Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: Crosstalk is a leakage of X-ray or light produced in a matrix of X-ray detectors or array of photodiodes in one element to other elements affecting on image contrast and spatial resolution. In this study, we assessed X-ray crosstalk in a computed tomography (CT) scanner with small detector elements to estimate the effect of various parameters such as X-ray tube voltage, detector e...
متن کاملDevelopment of an X-ray pixel detector with multi-port charge-coupled device for X-ray free-electron laser experiments.
This paper presents development of an X-ray pixel detector with a multi-port charge-coupled device (MPCCD) for X-ray Free-Electron laser experiments. The fabrication process of the CCD was selected based on the X-ray radiation hardness against the estimated annual dose of 1.6 × 10(14) photon/mm(2). The sensor device was optimized by maximizing the full well capacity as high as 5 Me- within 50 μ...
متن کاملImproved x-ray detection and particle identification with avalanche photodiodes.
Avalanche photodiodes are commonly used as detectors for low energy x-rays. In this work, we report on a fitting technique used to account for different detector responses resulting from photoabsorption in the various avalanche photodiode layers. The use of this technique results in an improvement of the energy resolution at 8.2 keV by up to a factor of 2 and corrects the timing information by ...
متن کاملX-ray spectrometry with Peltier-cooled large area avalanche photodiodes
Performance characteristics of the response of a Peltier-cooled large-area avalanche photodiode are investigated. Detector gain, energy linearity, energy resolution and minimum detectable energy are studied at different operation temperatures. Detector energy resolution and lowest detectable X-ray energy present a strong improvement as the operation temperature is reduced from 25 to 15 C and sl...
