Interpolating silicon photomultipliers

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2013
Abstract We present the novel Interpolating Silicon PhotoMultiplier (ISiPM) concept which provides the spatial position of photon clusters with high resolution. Individual APD cells of the ISiPM area are not connected to a common readout electrode, but each cell is connected to one of several output channels. The most straight forward embodiment is a

Simulation of Silicon Photomultiplier Signals

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 2009
In a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), also referred to as multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC), many Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GM-APDs) are connected in parallel so as to combine the photon counting capabilities of each of these so-called microcells into a proportional light sensor. The discharge of a single microcell is relatively well understood

Silicon photomultipliers in calorimetric applications

Astroparticle, Particle and Space Physics, Detectors and Medical Physics Applications, 2010
In recent years Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) have been proposed as a new type of readout system for scintillating detectors in many experiments. SiPMs consist of a matrix of parallel-connected silicon micro-pixels, which are independent photon counters working in limited Geiger mode with very high gain (~106).

Novel Silicon Photomultipliers for PET Applications

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 2008
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) with quantum efficiency maximized for a wavelength between 420 and 470 nm have been developed at ITC-irst Trento (Italy), and are being tested for their application in the construction of a ultra high resolution small animal PET tomograph. The devices have an area of 1 mm times 1 mm and 625 microcells.

Optimized silicon photomultipliers with optical trenches

2011 Proceedings of the European Solid-State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC), 2011
This paper reports on the electrical characteristics of silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) with optimized optical trench technology. The SiPM arrays were characterized from single pixels up to the full 64×64 pixel device. The data clearly show a perfect scaling of the dark current with the pixel number, thus indicating an almost ideal insulation among the

Temperature-compensated silicon photomultiplier

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2018
Abstract Silicon PhotoMultipliers (SiPM) have significant temperature dependence of important parameters such as gain, photon detection efficiency and optical crosstalk. Special temperature-controlled power supplies and off-line correction are typically used to mitigate this temperature dependence, though these methods are still not optimal for ...

Silicon photomultiplier-based optoelectronic mixing

Optical Engineering, 2013
Silicon photomultiplier (SiPM)-based optoelectronic mixing (OEM) is studied for the first time. The validity of SiPM-based OEM is experimentally verified. Compared with the avalanche photodiodes-based OEM, the SiPM-based OEM is less noisy and easy to realize for its low voltage operation and high responsivity.

Silicon photomultipliers applications to biosensors

SPIE Proceedings, 2014
A novel Si-based detector, having a low noise and a high sensitivity, up to a single photon detection, was used for a biosensor application. It is a Silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), a device formed by avalanche diodes operating in Geiger mode, in parallel connections.
