Microlens-enhanced SiPMs

Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Ettore Zaffaroni, Radoslav Marchevski, Carina Trippl

A novel concept to enhance the photo-detection efficiency (PDE) of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) has been applied and remarkable positive results can be reported. This concept uses arrays of microlenses to cover every second SiPM pixel in a chequerboard ...
