SPADs trade pulse detection for reduced noise in LIDAR applications

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have investigated the impact of gate voltage on the pulse detection efficiency of perimeter-gated single-photon avalanche diodes (pg-SPADs). The study found that these diodes, when fabricated using a standard CMOS process, trade off pulse detection efficiency for a reduction in spurious events within a burst window. The findings provide guidelines for optimizing pg-SPAD usage in pulsed LIDAR applications. AI

IMPACT Potential improvements in LIDAR systems could indirectly benefit AI applications relying on sensor data.

    Gate Voltage Effect on Pulse Detection Efficiency of Perimeter-Gated SPADs

    arXiv:2608.21371v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Perimeter-gated single-photon avalanche diodes (pg-SPADs) are known for their dynamic dark noise modulation capabilities. They are reported to trade noise for photon sensitivity under continuous illumination. However, the implicat…
