Single-Photon Avalanche Diode Imagers Applied to Near-Infrared Imaging

Edoardo Charbon, Juan Mata Pavia, Martin Wolf

Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) can be integrated into large pixel arrays. The aim of this paper is to present a view on how these imagers change the paradigm of wide-field near-infrared imaging (NIRI). Thanks to the large number of pixels that they ...

Measurement and modeling of microlenses fabricated on single-photon avalanche diode arrays for fill factor recovery

Edoardo Charbon, Juan Mata Pavia, Martin Wolf

Single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) imagers typically have a relatively low fil factor, i.e. a low proportion of the pixel's surface is light sensitive, due to in-pixel circuitry. We present a microlens array fabricated on a 128x128 single-photon avalanch ...
