Photon-Counting Arrays for Time-Resolved Imaging
The paper presents a camera comprising 512 × 128 pixels capable of single-photon detection and gating with a maximum frame rate of 156 kfps. The photon capture is performed through a gated single-photon avalanche diode that generates a digital pulse upon photon detection and through a digital one-bit counter. Gray levels are obtained through multiple counting and accumulation, while time-resolv...
متن کاملAvalanche Detector with Ultraclean Response for Time-Resolved Photon Counting
Experimental tests have been carried out for characterizing the performance of a new single-photon avalanche diode. The detector is specifically designed for picosecond timecorrelated single photon counting, aiming to obtain a time response free from the tail effects and/or secondary bumps observed in all other available single-photon detectors. The experimental results confirm that an unpreced...
متن کاملPseudo-random single photon counting for time-resolved optical measurement.
We report a new time-resolved optical measurement method which combines single photon counting and the spread spectrum time-resolved optical measurement method. A laser diode modulated with pseudo-random bit sequences replaces the short pulse laser used in conventional time-resolved optical systems, while a single photon detector records the pulse sequence in response to the modulated excitatio...
متن کاملPhoton counting arrays for AO wavefront sensors
Future wavefront sensors for AO on large telescopes will require a large number of pixels and must operate at high frame rates. Unfortunately for CCDs, there is a readout noise penalty for operating faster, and this noise can add up rather quickly when considering the number of pixels required for the extended shape of a sodium laser guide star observed with a large telescope. Imaging photon co...
متن کاملCompact time-gated analog counting SPAD-based pixels for high resolution, single-photon, time-resolved imagers
In this work, three different pixels for time-resolved, single-photon imaging are investigated. The pixels include a Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD), a gating circuit and an analog counter. The presented structures aim at achieving sub-nanosecond gating performance with a reduced number of transistors to enable high resolution imaging with a high fill factor. The pixels have been implement...
