Determination of Self-Heating in Silicon Photomultipliers [PDF]
SensorsThe main consequence of radiation damage on a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) is a significant increase in the dark current. If the SiPM is not adequately cooled, the power dissipation causes it to heat up, which alters its performance parameters.

Architecture-Level Optimization on Digital Silicon Photomultipliers for Medical Imaging [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are arrays of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) connected in parallel. Analog silicon photomultipliers are built in custom technologies optimized for detection efficiency.

Avalanche Photodiodes and Silicon Photomultipliers of Non-Planar Designs [PDF]
Sensors, 2023 Conventional designs of an avalanche photodiode (APD) have been based on a planar p–n junction since the 1960s. APD developments have been driven by the necessity to provide a uniform electric field over the active junction area and to prevent edge ...

Optimizing Silicon photomultipliers for Quantum Optics. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractSilicon Photomultipliers are potentially ideal detectors for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information studies based on mesoscopic states of light. However, their non-idealities hampered their use so far. An optimal mode of operation has been developed and it is presented here, proving that this class of sensors can actually be exploited for the ...

Ultrahigh-speed point scanning two-photon microscopy using high dynamic range silicon photomultipliers [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Conventional two-photon microscopes use photomultiplier tubes, which enable high sensitivity but can detect relatively few photons per second, forcing longer pixel integration times and limiting maximum imaging rates.
