光子探测器的最新进展带来了高密度成像阵列，具有许多性能和成本优势。特别是，某些器件出色的传输时间扩展有望在正电子发射断层扫描 (PET) 等应用中提供切实的好处，同时，高密度、高性能读出技术尚未跟上这些发展的步伐。用于下一代高事件率粒子识别和时间分辨 PET 的光电探测器读出需要高度集成、低功耗且经济高效的读出技术。我们提出快速波形采样作为满足这些标准的方法，并证明现有设备可以获得低于 10ps 的分辨率。 (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Recent advances in photon detectors have resulted in high-density imaging arrays that offer many performance and cost advantages. In particular, the excellent transit-time-spread of certain devices show promise to provide tangible benefits in applications such as positron emission tomography (PET), Meanwhile, high-density, high-performance readout techniques have not kept on pace for exploiting these developments.Photodetector readout for next generation high event rate particle identification and time-resolved PET requires a highly integrated, low-power, and cost-effective readout technique. We propose fast waveform sampling as a method that meets these criteria and demonstrate that sub-10ps resolution can be obtained for an existing device. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
