Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting
Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful analysis tool in fundamental physics as well as in the life sciences. Implementing it in the time domain requires recording the time dependent intensity profile of the emitted light upon excitation by a short flash of light, typically a laser pulse. While in principle, one could attempt to record the time decay profile of the signal from a s...
متن کاملLong-range time-of-flight scanning sensor based on high-speed time-correlated single-photon counting.
We describe a scanning time-of-flight system which uses the time-correlated single-photon counting technique to produce three-dimensional depth images of distant, noncooperative surfaces when these targets are illuminated by a kHz to MHz repetition rate pulsed laser source. The data for the scene are acquired using a scanning optical system and an individual single-photon detector. Depth images...
متن کاملTime-of-Flight Optical Ranging System Based on Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting.
The design and implementation of a prototype time-of-flight optical ranging system based on the time-correlated single-photon-counting technique are described. The sensor is characterized in terms of its longitudinal and transverse spatial resolution, single-point measurement time, and long-term stability. The system has been operated at stand-off distances of 0.5-5 m, has a depth repeatability...
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 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...
