Distortions 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 کاملCompact SPAD-Based Pixel Architectures for Time-Resolved Image Sensors
This paper reviews the state of the art of single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) image sensors for time-resolved imaging. The focus of the paper is on pixel architectures featuring small pixel size (<25 μm) and high fill factor (>20%) as a key enabling technology for the successful implementation of high spatial resolution SPAD-based image sensors. A summary of the main CMOS SPAD implementations...
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 کامل9.8μm SPAD-based Analogue Single Photon Counting Pixel with Bias Controlled Sensitivity
A scalable NMOS-only 11T SPAD-based analogue single photon counting pixel is presented. Implemented in advanced 130nm imaging low voltage CMOS, with no extra implants, a state of the art 9.8μm pitch is achieved. Novel pixel operation using a charge transfer amplifier (CTA) allows bias controlled sensitivity from 13.1mV/event to 150μV/event. Less than 2% PRNU is measured in the sensitivity range...
متن کاملA Low-Cost Single-Pixel Thermographic Camera
[email protected] We also tested a prototype which employs cylindrical parabolic instead of planar mirrors, which simultaneously de ect and focus the beam towards the sensor, see the gure on the left. This leads to higher sensitivity and therefore less noise. Here, multispectral imaging, through several di erent sensors in the focal point—also a distance sensor—can be implemented espe...
