About This Webinar
This webinar introduces single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays and cameras, highlighting how they differ from conventional imaging and photon-counting technologies. The session reviews the state of the art in SPAD devices and compares their performance with established detectors such as photomultiplier tubes, silicon photomultipliers, electron-multiplying CCD cameras, and modern scientific CMOS and quantitative CMOS image sensors.
The discussion focuses on the working principles of SPAD-based systems and outlines scenarios in which these systems offer unique advantages compared with conventional solutions, depending on the application.
Who should attend:
This session is ideal for professionals in R&D and business development, particularly those involved in high-speed imaging, low-light imaging, and time-resolved imaging applications such as fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, image scanning microscopy, and lidar. It is open to all experience levels and provides an opportunity for attendees to learn about the fundamentals and latest developments in SPAD technology, as well as how to determine when it is beneficial to replace conventional detector systems.
About the presenter:
Milo (MingLo) Wu, Ph.D., obtained a Bachelor of Science in Nanoelectronics from National Chiao Tung University, a Master of Science in Nanodevices and Physics from KU Leuven, and a Ph.D. from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where his research focused on the application of SPAD technology in various fields. During his doctoral studies, Wu contributed to the development of SPAD-based systems and co-authored several highly cited scientific publications.
Currently serving as business development manager at Pi Imaging Technology, Wu supports customers in exploring the potential of SPADs and integrating them into existing technologies, bridging the gap between advanced detectors and practical applications.
