Neural Imaging Using Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes [PDF]

Basic and Clinical Neuroscience Journal, 2017
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 minimum dark 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.The

WS2 Micro‐Dome Single Photon Source in a Tunable Open Cavity

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, a single‐photon source based on WS2 micro‐domes is realized and integrated into an open, tunable optical microcavity. Single‐photon emission from the coupled emitter–cavity system is observed. Detailed analysis shows that a pronounced acoustic phonon emission sideband contributes specifically to the non‐resonant emitter–cavity coupling in
