Review of photodetectors model: APD, SPAD, SiPM. Front end electronics for photodetectors: input stage (charge amplifier, transimpedance, RF amplifiers), effect of interconnetions. Optimal processing for timing: design considerations, filtering, TDC design, etc. Examples of readout ASICs for photodetection.
Digitizers for photodetectors: ADCs, waveform sampling, etc. Digital pulse processing with emphais on timing properties extraction.
Applications of photodetectors in high energy physics and medical imaging. Focused on solid state (APDs, SPADs, SIPM) but in context of PMT technology.
