Silicon Photo-Multiplier Evaluation Kit available: AFBR-S4E001

Key features

• High PDE
• Four-side tileable
• Highly transparent glass protection layer
• Operating temperature range from -20°C to +50°C.

Additional features

The AFBR-S4N44C013 is a single silicon photo multiplier (SiPM) used for ultra-sensitive precision measurement of single photons.

The active area is 3.72 x 3.72 mm2. High packing density of the single chips is achieved using trough-silicon-via (TSV) technology. Larger areas can be covered by tiling multiple AFBR-S4N44C013 arrays almost without any edge losses. The passivation layer is made by a glass highly transparent down to UV wavelengths, resulting in a broad response in the visible light spectrum with high sensitivity toward the blue- and near-UV region of the light spectrum.

The array is best suited for the detection of low-level pulsed light sources, especially for detection of Cherenkov or scintillation light from the most common organic (plastic) and inorganic scintillator materials -- LSO, LYSO, BGO, NaI, CsI, BaF and LaBr, as examples

Applications

• X-Ray and gamma ray detection
• Nuclear medicine
• Positron emission tomography
• Time correlated single photon counting
• Physics experiments
• Evaluation and prototyping
