Single-Photon Imaging by Peter Seitz (auth.), Peter Seitz, Albert JP Theuwissen

By Peter Seitz (auth.), Peter Seitz, Albert JP Theuwissen (eds.)

The acquisition and interpretation of pictures is a significant strength in just about all clinical and technological domain names. particularly, the purchase of electromagnetic radiation, within the kind of seen gentle, UV, infrared, X-ray, and so forth. is of huge functional value. the last word sensitivity in digital imaging is the detection of person photons. With this e-book, the 1st accomplished evaluate of all facets of single-photon digital imaging has been created. themes contain theoretical fundamentals, semiconductor fabrication, single-photon detection ideas, imager layout and purposes of alternative spectral domain names. this present day, the solid-state fabrication services for different types of snapshot sensors has complex to some extent, the place uncoooled single-photon digital imaging will quickly turn into a shopper product. This publication is giving a specialist´s view from various domain names to the imminent “single-photon imaging” revolution. a few of the points of single-photon imaging are taken care of by way of across the world well known, prime scientists and technologists who've all pioneered their respective fields.

4 is required, depending on the 22 P. Seitz actual application. 35), good solid-state image sensors operating at video frame rates and room temperature achieve typical photocharge detection noise levels Q of 5–10 electrons. It is concluded that an improvement of more than a factor of 10 in the charge detection noise is required. Over the past 20 years, many approaches have been proposed to attain this, and the most important ones are described in this book. 26), it is of foremost importance to reduce or remove it.
