Influence of hot-carrier luminescence from avalanche photodiodes on time-correlated photon detection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the results of our time-resolved measurements of hot-carrier luminescence from passively quenched Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes. In time-correlated photon-counting (TCPC) experiments, hot-carrier luminescence interferes overwhelmingly with the coincidence spectrum, which results in artifacts. This potential problem should be taken into account in setting up TCPC experiments.

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...
متن کاملBackside Flip-Chip testing by means of high-bandwidth luminescence detection
We present the results of backside non-invasive optical testing of CMOS Flip-Chips. The exploited principle is the hot-carrier luminescence emitted by MOS transistors in saturation. The set-up is based on a solidstate single-photon avalanche diode with a time resolution better than 30ps. We discuss the methodology for backside investigation, the criteria for selecting the appropriate detector, ...

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...
