Mr Max Knötig (Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics)13/06/2012, 12:15PosterVisible light emission from both photomultipliers (PMT) and semiconductor p-n junctions in reverse bias has been known for over half a century. As photomultipliers and silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) are sensitive, their own light emission has a feedback, which needs to be understood.
