Similar to analog silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), digital SiPMs (dSiPMs) essentially consist of an array of single-photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs). Instead of a passive quench resistor, however, an active quenching circuit is locally integrated with ...
New advances in the field of image sensors (especially in CMOS technology) tend to question the conventional methods used to acquire the image. Compressive Sensing (CS) plays a major role in this, especially to unclog the Analog to Digital Converters which ...
In the past few years, fusing NIR and color images has been explored in general computational photography and computer vision tasks, where traditionally only color images are used. The additional information provided by the differences of light and scene r ...
Traditionally, photodiodes operate at static reverse bias, and incident light intensity is obtained from the relatively week photocurrent. In this paper, we introduce a different concept of photodiode function: the photodiode is used in a dynamic regime wh ...
In recent years, modern imaging sensors and systems have become increasingly complex following the growing demand for high-quality and high-resolution imaging. Commercially available sensors having 30-40 mega-pixel resolutions are common nowadays, while pr ...
In this paper, a novel CMOS single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) is presented, and the device is designed using a vertical p-i-n diode construction. The p-i-n diode with a wide depletion region enables a low-noise operation. The proposed design achieves da ...
In this thesis we propose the use of photodiodes fabricated in planar technologies to address the detection problem in these applications. A number of solutions exist, optimized for these wavelengths, based on Germanium (Ge) and other III-V materials. In t ...
A variety of smart imaging and neuromorphic applications perform time-domain image acquisition in order to imitate biological systems and reduce the growing transmission bandwidth of the modern imaging devices. Because they operate in time-domain, they req ...
In the past decades different methods based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) have been developed to image a variety of hemodynamic parameters in tissue. However, simultaneous high resolution imaging of oxy- and deo ...
In this work we demonstrate 3D imaging using two-photon excitation through a 20 cm long multimode optical fiber (MMF) of 350 mu m diameter. The imaging principle is similar to single photon fluorescence through a MMF, except that a focused femtosecond puls ...
