Abstract:> Low-cost and compact single-photon counter based on a CMOS SPAD smart pixel < 1 Abstract-We present a single-photon counter based on a silicon Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) fabricated in a 0.35 µm CMOS technology. The detector is monolithically integrated with a front-end circuit and a digital pulse output driver. External components are kept to a minimum and the resulting instrument is low-cost, low-power and compact, being housed into an industry-standard 1-inch aluminum optical mounting tube. It … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
