  1. 44. Small and Fast : Nanophotonics for Fast Timing
    Stefan Sylvain Enoch
    05/06/2022, 08:30
    Technologies: Photodetctors

    This presentation will present the opportunities offered by nanophotonics to improve the performance of detectors including results obtained from the ATTRACT-Photoquant project [1] that aimed at demonstrating that recent nanophotonics innovations such as metalenses and more generally metamaterials could allow a breakthrough in single-photon time resolution. Silicon photomultipliers are...

    Silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) consisting of single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array has been widely used in many types of applications, those requires photon counting capability. Dynamic range of SiPM, which is one of the representative characteristics, is generally limited by the number of SPADs composing the SiPM. Its dynamic range can be expanded by using small size SPAD, e.g., 10, 15,...

    Fast timing performance is of paramount importance in a number of time-resolved medical applications, including TOF-PET, FLIM and Raman. The EPFL AQUA lab has explored several strategies to increase the performance of miniature all-solid-state silicon detectors in the form of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), also known as Geiger-mode APDs. SPADs feature an exquisite timing performance...

    Technologies: Photodetctors

    Optimization of the timing resolution in the scintillation light readout has been one of the most important challenges in the SiPM field since the beginning of their development. Several sensor parameters contribute to the timing performance achieved in the application. The latest iteration of the NUV-HD SiPM technology developed at FBK feature PDE in excess of 60% at 410 nm, DCR around 60...

  5. 63. VUV-SiPMs applied to BaF2 cross-luminescence detection for high-rate ultrafast timing applications
    S. Gundacker (Department of Physics of Molecular Imaging Systems (PMI))

    Technologies: Photodetctors

    Inorganic scintillators are widely used for fast timing applications in time-of-flight (TOF) positron emission tomography (PET), time tagging of soft and hard X-ray photons at advanced light sources and photon counting computed tomography (CT). As the best coincidence time resolution (CTR) achievable is proportional to the square root of the scintillation decay time it is worth studying fast...

  6. 4. The 100μPET project: a small-animal PET scanner for ultra-high-resolution molecular imaging with monolithic silicon pixel sensors
    Prof. giuseppe iacobucci (University of Geneva)
    05/06/2022, 09:45
    Technologies: Photodetctors

    Recent developments in semiconductor pixel detectors allow for a new generation of positron-emission tomography (PET) scanners that, in combination with advanced image reconstruction algorithms, will allow for a few hundred microns spatial resolutions. Such novel scanners will pioneer ultra-high-resolution molecular imaging, a field that is expected to have an enormous impact in several...
