Single-Photon Synchronous Detection

Edoardo Charbon, Ties Jan Henderikus Kluter, Cristiano Niclass, Claudio Favi, Frédéric Monnier

Phase and intensity of light are detected simultaneously using a fully digital imaging technique: single-photon synchronous detection. This approach has been theoretically and experimentally investigated in this paper. We designed a fully integrated camera ...

A gamma, x-ray and high energy proton radiation-tolerant CIS for space applications

Edoardo Charbon, Herbert Shea, Lucio Carrara, Cristiano Niclass, Noémy Scheidegger

Photon counting is useful in space-based imagers wherever quantitative light- intensity evaluation is necessary. Various types of radiation, from cosmic rays to high-energy proton beams to gamma radiation, have an effect on the functionality and accuracy o ...

A Low-Noise Single-Photon Detector Implemented in a 130 nm CMOS Imaging Process

Edoardo Charbon, Cristiano Niclass, Marek Gersbach

We report on a new single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) fabricated in a 130 nm CMOS imaging process. A novel circular structure combining shallow trench isolation (STI) and a passivation implant creates an effective guard ring against premature edge breakd ...
