Abstract :
A characterization of the response of SiPMs and SPADs produced at FBK-IRST Trento stimulated with fast laser pulses is presented. The tests were aimed at studying both the intrinsic timing proprieties (of SiPMs and SPADs) using the time-correlated single-photon counting technique and the dynamic range (of SiPMs). Measurements were carried out on devices with different cell size, namely, from 40×40 to 100×100 μm2. Concerning the timing resolution, all the devices exhibit a value less than 150 psec FWHM. The dynamic range of SiPMs shows a response linearity which is in line with the theory describing these devices.
