(TU Delft (OLD)Applied Quantum Architectures) Burri, S Hoebe, RA Maruyama, Yuki (Jet Propulsion Lab, Pasadena, CA) Bruschini, C Charbon-Iwasaki-Charbon, E. (TU Delft (OLD)Applied Quantum Architectures; Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) Date 2016-06-29 Abstract The paper presents a camera comprising 512 × 128 pixels capable of single-photon detection and gating with a maximum frame rate of 156 kfps. The photon capture is performed through a gated single-photon avalanche diode that generates a digital pulse upon photon detection and through a digital one-bit counter. Gray levels are obtained through multiple counting and accumulation, while time-resolved imaging is achieved through a 4-ns gating window controlled with subnanosecond accuracy by a field-programmable gate array. The sensor, which is equipped with microlenses to enhance its effective fill factor, was electro-optically characterized in terms of sensitivity and uniformity. Several examples of capture of fast events are shown to demonstrate the suitability of the approach.
