High-Performance CMOS SPAD-Based Sensors for Time-of-Flight PET Applications

Francesco Gramuglia

Detecting light, photon by photon, has been possible since the 1930s, with the invention of the photomultiplier tube (PMT). However, it is only since the 1970s, that solid-state single-photon detectors have emerged and only since 2003 that a new technology ...
