Dead Time Correction in Single-Photon Avalanche Diode Front Ends
摘要
This chapter presents a detailed study of dead time correction in single-photon avalanche diode Front-end front ends. Specifically, we present a novel count rate correction model. Using a perimeter-gated SPAD (pg-SPAD), we set Dark count rate (DCR) dark count rates and predetermined dead times in a Front-end front end under test in order to study the novel model’s efficacy. We found that the new model had a prediction error of about 2.1% compared to an 18.8% prediction error obtained from the standard count rate correction model typically used in the literature
