Hybrid Small Animal Imaging System Combining Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Fluorescence Tomography Using Single Photon Avalanche Diode Detectors

Edoardo Charbon, Lucio Carrara, Markus Rudin, Christof Baltes

The high sensitivity of fluorescence imaging enables the detection of molecular processes in living organisms. However, diffuse light propagation in tissue prevents accurate recovery of tomographic information on fluorophore distribution for structures emb ...

RTS Noise Characterization in Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes

Edoardo Charbon, Lucio Carrara, Cristiano Niclass, Mohammad Azim Karami, Matthew Fishburn

Random telegraph signal (RTS) behavior is reported and characterized in the dark count rate of single-photon avalanche Diodes (SPADs). The RTS is observed in a SPAD fabricated in 0.8-mu m CMOS technology and in four proton-irradiated SPADs designed and fab ...

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 ...
