A Novel Silicon Photomultiplier Readout Architecture for Low-light Applications
arXiv:2202.05303 · doi:10.1088/1748-0221/17/09/P09020
Abstract
In this article we describe the photon detection readout electronics for the nEDM@SNS experiment. The chosen "photon counting" architecture, which utilizes high-efficiency silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) and is appropriate for low-light applications, allows the use of a relatively high SiPM operating voltage. This maximizes photon detection efficiency and minimizes gain/efficiency voltage-dependence while eliminating optical cross-talk.
