Description
Photon counting at a very large scale has recently become available, thanks to the introduction of CMOS single-photon avalanche diodes and analog/digital silicon photomultipliers. With the continuous technological push demanded by Moore’s Law and the introduction of 3D integration, achieving ever increasing fill factors and near-picosecond timing resolutions with integrated time-to-digital conversion are becoming realistic goals in the near term. In this talk, I will review current and future photon counting sensors, looking at trade-offs and trends in the context of these technological advances, focusing at emerging applications and at the challenges they will bring.
