NV01PNR-DEV
Photon number resolver development module
- 4 x 4 SPAD cluster
- One, two, three and four photon threshold
- Digital output
- Up to 300M events/s
The NovoViz NV01PNR-DEV was developed for applications requiring single photon point detectors with low timing jitter. The device does not require any external threshold circuitry and provides a fully digital output, compatible with standard CMOS electronics.
The sensor combines the benefits of a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) pixel, namely the single-photon resolution and fast operating speeds, with the benefits of on chip recharge and threshold circuitry – high event rates and reduced noise.
Our innovative sensor architecture has dedicated outputs for single, two, three and four photon thresholds as well as a separate output that connects to a single SPAD in order to optimize the timing jitter. The sensor is well suited for high dynamic range imaging, low light imaging, depth sensing and obstacle detection, among others.
Applications
Photon number resolving at room temperature
Using the NV01PNR-DEV and a coherent pulsed laser source, we demonstrate accurate reconstruction of Poissonian
photon statistics, validating the module’s capability as a practical, scalable, and non-cryogenic alternative to superconducting detectors.
