Presented by Hamamatsu Corporation
The silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), also known as Multi-Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC), is becoming a popular choice of a photodetector in applications where even single photons must be detected. The ability of a SiPM to detect single photons is due to its very high (10^6 – 10^7) internal gain.
The goals of this webinar are for you to: 1) develop a strong theoretical understanding of how a SiPM functions; 2) become familiar with the key optoelectronic characteristics of SiPMs; and 3) understand the pros and cons of SiPMs. The webinar will also cover realistic applications that use SiPMs.
Presenter Slawomir S. Piatek is a senior university lecturer of physics at New Jersey Institute of Technology and has developed a photonics training program for engineers at Hamamatsu Corporation in New Jersey. Also at Hamamatsu, he is involved in popularizing SiPM as a novel photodetector by writing and lecturing about it and by experimenting with the device. Piatek earned a Ph.D. in Physics at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.
