Method and apparatus to determine a planet vector

Edoardo Charbon, Herbert Shea, Renato Krpoun, Noémy Scheidegger

The present invention relates to a method for a low cost Planet vector Sensor based on imaging atmospheric oxygen emission at 762 nm or at 557.7 wavelengths using either CMOS, CCD or arrays of single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). In both daytime and nig ...

A Study of the Effects of Gamma Radiation on CMOS Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes

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

The paper reports on the effects of Gamma radiation to single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study ever conducted on SPADs fabricated in CMOS technology. A typical CMOS SPAD consists of a pn junction revers ...

A new concept for a low-cost Earth sensor: Imaging oxygen airglow with arrays of single photon detectors

Edoardo Charbon, Herbert Shea, Cristiano Niclass, Renato Krpoun, Noémy Scheidegger

This paper presents a novel concept for a compact low-cost Earth sensor based on imaging atmospheric oxygen emission at 762nm using arrays of single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). In both nighttime and daytime there is continuous emission at 762nm due to ...
