Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GM-APDs) are highly sensitive light detectors, capable of detecting single photons. Photons of certain wavelengths, when absorbed by photodiodes, generate ...
Cardiff University researchers from the Institute for Compound Semiconductors (ICS) worked with collaborators to innovate an ultrafast and highly sensitive ‘avalanche photodiode’ (APD) that creates ...
What is a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) sensor? Why are SPADs important? How do SPADs work? I talked with Dr. Sebastian Bauer, CEO at Ubicept, about the company’s flexible light acquisition and ...
