High performance planar germanium-on-silicon single-photon avalanche diode detectors
By incorporating germanium, single-photon avalanche diode detectors using silicon-based platforms are applied to infrared light detection. Here, a cost-effective planar detector geometry is presented yielding high detection efficiency suitable for applications such as sparse photon imaging or LIDAR.
