Abstract :
CMOS single photon detectors enable large pixel arrays and integrated ancillary circuits. As a consequence, higher timing accuracy and reduced power consumption can be achieved at lower costs. This paper discusses applications and implementation considerations to take into account when designing single photon imagers
