CMOS Solid-State Photomultiplier for Detecting Scintillation Light in Harsh Environments
A CMOS SSPM coupled to a scintillation crystal uses an array of CMOS Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode (GPD) pixels to collect light and produce a signal proportional to the energy of the radiation. Each pixel acts as a binary photon detector, but the summed output is an analog representation of the total photon intensity. We have fabricated arrays of GPD pixels in a CMOS environment, which make...
متن کاملTracking fibre detectors based on solid state photomultipliers for PANDA
Solid state photomultipliers (SSPM) consist of a pixelised array of micrometric avalanche photodiodes connected in parallel. Despite the digital character of the signals from the individual pixels the device as a whole behaves analogically as long as the number of incoming photons remains small compared to the quantity of pixels. SSPM technology reduces even further the complexity and price of ...
متن کاملCompact solid-state CMOS single-photon detector array for in vivo NIR fluorescence lifetime oncology measurements.
In near infrared fluorescence-guided surgical oncology, it is challenging to distinguish healthy from cancerous tissue. One promising research avenue consists in the analysis of the exogenous fluorophores' lifetime, which are however in the (sub-)nanosecond range. We have integrated a single-photon pixel array, based on standard CMOS SPADs (single-photon avalanche diodes), in a compact, time-ga...
متن کاملAdvances in gas avalanche photomultipliers
Gas avalanche detectors, combining solid photocathodes with fast electron multipliers, provide an attractive solution for photon localization over very large sensitive areas and under high illumination #ux. They o!er single-photon sensitivity and the possibility of operation under very intense magnetic "elds. We discuss the principal factors governing the operation of gas avalanche photomultipl...
متن کاملLiquid and solid scintillation: principles and applications
Scintillation counting is one of the most important developments in the application of radioisotopes to procedures needed by scientists, physicians, engineers, and technicians from many diverse discipline for the detection and quantitative measurement of radioactivity. In fact, Scintillation is the most sensitive and versatile technique for the detection and quantification of radioactivity. Par...
