Limited Geiger-mode microcell silicon photodiode: new results
Description
Recent results on Limited Geiger-mode Microcell Silicon Photodiode (LGP) are described. Two new modifications of LGP have been designed and produced. Each of them consists of 104 pixels 10x10 μm2 size with area of 1 mm2. These pixels operate as an independent photon counters, giving the output signal as a sum of the signals from pixels fired by photons. The effective 'gain' is large (∼105). The efficiency of the visible light photon detection of few percents has been measured. Low-temperature dark rate dependence has been studied. The timing by LGP at the level of 100 ps (FWHM) was found
