SiPM and SPAD: Emerging Applications for Single-Photon Detection
Thu, Jan 17, 2019 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST
This webinar, presented by Hamamatsu Corp., will provide a thorough overview of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) and single-photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs) for low-light level photodetection. Compared to photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), SiPMs and SPADs are smaller, more durable, and more energy efficient. They also offer better immunity to magnetic fields and ambient light than PMTs. By attending this webinar, you will gain a better understanding of SiPM and SPAD technology, so you can determine whether it is the right choice for you.
