The Silicon Photomultiplier - A new device for High Energy Physics, Astroparticle Physics, Industrial and Medical Applications
since a few years a novel photon detector concept is being developed which is based on a matrix of densely packed small avalanche photo diodes operating in the limited Geiger mode with a common readout line. In this paper I review the operation principle of the detector concept. I discuss characteristics of the device as well as some of the ongoing developments and one example of a very promisi...
متن کاملNovel Photo-Detectors and Photo-Detector Systems
Recent developments in photo-detectors and photo-detector systems are reviewed. The main emphasis is made on Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPM) novel and very attractive photo-detectors. Their main features are described. Properties of detectors manufactured by different producers are compared. Different applications are discussed including calorimeters, muon detection, tracking, Cherenkov light ...
متن کاملIII-Nitride Based Avalanche Photo Detectors
Research into III-Nitride based avalanche photodiodes (APDs) is motivated by the need for high sensitivity ultraviolet (UV) detectors in numerous civilian and military applications. By designing III-Nitride photodetectors that utilize low-noise impact ionization high internal gain can be realized—GaN APDs operating in Geiger mode can achieve gains exceeding 1×10. Thus with careful design, it be...
متن کاملPhoto-Detectors for Time of Flight Positron Emission Tomography (ToF-PET)
We present the most recent advances in photo-detector design employed in time of flight positron emission tomography (ToF-PET). PET is a molecular imaging modality that collects pairs of coincident (temporally correlated) annihilation photons emitted from the patient body. The annihilation photon detector typically comprises a scintillation crystal coupled to a fast photo-detector. ToF informat...
متن کاملPhoto-Detectors Integrated with Resonant Tunneling Diodes
We report on photo-detectors consisting of an optical waveguide that incorporates a resonant tunneling diode (RTD). Operating at wavelengths around 1.55 μm in the optical communications C band we achieve maximum sensitivities of around 0.29 A/W which is dependent on the bias voltage. This is due to the nature of RTD nonlinear current-voltage characteristic that has a negative differential resis...
