SiPM: Operation, performance, and possible applications

Modern SiPMs have much lower rates of dark counts and crosstalk, and almost non-existent afterpulsing. These characteristics and improved performance factors are progressively making the SiPM a detector of choice in an increasing number of applications, specifically flow cytometry, radiation monitoring, and automotive LiDAR.

This webinar reviews:

• Principles of operation
• Comparison between SiPMs and photomultiplier tubes (PMTs)
• Report on the latest performance characteristics
• Electronic detection circuits
• Possible applications in flow cytometry, radiation monitoring, and automotive time of flight LiDAR

Slawomir S. Piatek, Ph.D., is a senior university lecturer of physics at New Jersey Institute of Technology. In his role as science consultant at Hamamatsu Corporation, he has developed a photonics training program for engineers and is involved in popularizing SiPM as a novel photodetector by writing and lecturing about the device.
