High-Sensitivity Large-Area Photodiode Read-Out Using a Divide-and-Conquer Technique

In this letter, we present a novel technique to increase the sensitivity of optical read-out with large integrated photodiodes (PD). It consists of manufacturing the PD in several pieces, instead of a single device, and connecting a dedicated transimpedance amplifier (TIA) to each of these pieces. T...
