High-Speed, Single-Photon Avalanche-Photodiode Imager for Biomedical Applications
Abstract
The design of a low-light level pixel in CMOS technology for biomedical applications is described. This pixel is also suitable for very high-speed applications, such as fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) used for drug discovery and/or minimally-invasive optical biopsy. In order to achieve high-speed imaging using single-photon detection, a detector with a very low dead-time is needed. The single-photon avalanche-photodiode (SPAD) discussed in …
