An integrated active-quenching circuit for single-photon avalanche diodes
We introduce the first integrated active quenching circuit (I-AQC) that drives an avalanche photodiode (APD) above its breakdown voltage, in order to detect single photons. Based on the I-AQC, we developed a compact and versatile photon-counting module suitable for applications in which very weak optical signals have to be detected, as for instance, photon correlation spectroscopy, luminescence...
متن کاملFully-Integrated Active-Quenching Circuit for Single-Photon Detection
A monolithic active-quenching and active-reset circuit is presented, designed for avalanche photodiodes that detect single-photons by operating above the breakdown voltage (VB) in a digital mode, known as SPAD's. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fully-integrated circuit of this kind ever reported. It operates with any existing SPAD, also with very high VB, since the quenching pul...

Single-photon avalanche diodes with active and passive quenching circuits are fabricated on a 130 nm CMOS platform and analyzed with respect to saturation behavior at high photon rates.
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 کاملMonolithic Active-Quenching and Active-Reset Circuit for Single-Photon Avalanche Detectors
A monolithic circuit has been designed for active-quenching and active-reset of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), which operate above the breakdown voltage BD for detecting single photons. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fully integrated circuit of this kind ever reported. It can operate with any available SPAD device, since it generates pulses high enough to quench detect...
