SPAD（单光子雪崩二极管）阵列是单光子传感器，可实现光子计数和无与伦比的时间分辨成像。在本文中，我们将详细介绍三个代表性的SPAD阵列的架构和特点，在标准的CMOS技术实现，并针对一系列的应用，如生物光子学，基础科学和工程。两个传感器具有高性能像素，分别支持时间选通和TCSPC操作。第三个传感器是一个线性阵列，其像素与FPGA一对一耦合，以实现灵活的数据采集和处理。
SPAD (single-photon avalanche diode) arrays are single-photon sensors, which enable photon counting and unparalleled time-resolved imaging. In this paper, we will detail the architecture and characteristics of three representative SPAD arrays, implemented in standard CMOS technologies and targeted to a range of applications such as biophotonics, basic sciences, and engineering. Two sensors feature a high-performance pixel and enable time-gated and TCSPC operation, respectively. The third sensor is a line array whose pixels are coupled on a one-to-one basis with an FPGA for flexible data acquisition and processing.
