This paper proposes an automatic procedure, based on ROOT data Analysis Framework, for the analysis of Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) characteristics. In particular, it can be used to analyze experimental waveforms, from oscilloscope, containing SiPM pulses acquired at different temperatures and bias voltages. Important SiPMs characteristics such as: charge distribution, gain, breakdown voltage, pulse shape (rise time and recovery time) and overvoltage can been calculated. Developed procedure can be easily used to analyze any type of SiPM detectors.

In this paper, we report on the photon emission of Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) from avalanche pulses generated in dark conditions, with the main objective of better understanding the associated systematics for next-generation, large area, SiPM-based physics experiments. A new apparatus for spectral and imaging analysis was developed at TRIUMF and used to measure the light emitted by the two SiPMs considered as photo-sensor candidates for the nEXO neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment: one Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) VUV-HD Low Field (LF) Low After Pulse (Low AP) (VUV-HD3) SiPM and one Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (HPK) VUV4 Multi-Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC). Spectral measurements of their light emissions were taken with varying over-voltage in the wavelength range of 450–1020 nm. For the FBK VUV-HD3, at an over-voltage of 12.1±1.0 V, we measured a secondary photon yield (number of photons (γ) emitted per charge carrier (e−)) of (4.04±0.02)×10−6γ/e−. The emission spectrum of the FBK VUV-HD3 contains an interference pattern consistent with thin-film interference. Additionally, emission microscopy images (EMMIs) of the FBK VUV-HD3 show a small number of highly localized regions with increased light intensity (hotspots) randomly distributed over the SiPM surface area. For the HPK VUV4 MPPC, at an over-voltage of 10.7±1.0 V, we measured a secondary photon yield of (8.71±0.04)×10−6γ/e−. In contrast to the FBK VUV-HD3, the emission spectra of the HPK VUV4 did not show an int...

Silicon photomultiplier-positron emission tomography (SiPM-PET) has better sensitivity, spatial resolution, and timing resolution than photomultiplier tube (PMT)-PET. The present study aimed to clarify the advantages of SiPM-PET in 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) brain imaging in a head-to-head comparison with PMT-PET in phantom and clinical studies. Contrast was calculated from images acquired from a Hoffman 3D brain phantom, and image noise and uniformity were calculated from images acquired from a pool phantom using SiPM- and PMT-PET. Sequential PMT-PET and SiPM-PET [18F]FDG images were acquired over a period of 10 min from 22 controls and 10 patients. All images were separately normalized to a standard [18F]FDG PET template, then the mean standardized uptake values (SUVmean) and Z-score were calculated using MIMneuro and CortexID Suite, respectively. Image contrast, image noise, and uniformity in SiPM-PET changed 19.2, 3.5, and − 40.0% from PMT-PET, respectively. These physical indices of both PET scanners satisfied the criteria for acceptable image quality published by the Japanese Society of Nuclear Medicine of contrast > 55%, CV ≤ 15%, and SD ≤ 0.0249, respectively. Contrast was 70.0% for SiPM-PET without TOF and 59.5% for PMT-PET without TOF. The TOF improved contrast by 3.5% in SiPM-PET. The SUVmean using SiPM-PET was significantly higher than PMT-PET and did not correlate with a time delay. Z-scores were also significantly higher in images acquired from S...

A silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) can potentially be used to create the most sensitive optical receiver in visible light communications (VLC) since it contains a large array of microcells and each microcell is capable of detecting individual photons. However, after a single photon is detected, the associated microcell needs a period of several nanoseconds to recover and any photons arriving at the microcell during this period cannot be detected. This effect creates a non-linear response and also introduces a unique form of interference when the transmission data rate is high. In this paper, by analyzing the performance of different models of commercially available SiPMs, we study how the SiPM nonlinearity is related to various SiPM parameters and also show how a VLC transmission link is affected by this nonlinearity. Based on simulation results, we show that a good SiPM detector for VLC applications should have a large detective area so that the overall received optical power is high. At the same time, the size of individual microcells needs be small so that the recovery period is short. Moreover, in this paper, a specially designed receiver consisting of four parallel SiPMs is considered and it is shown that this receiver can support orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation for a wide range of irradiance levels.
