Vascovid at ICFO’s L4H SEMINAR

Alberto Tossi, Vascovid’s researcher from Politecnico di Milano, will be presenting the project at ICFO’s seminar “Light for Health: Silicon and InGaAs/InP SPADs for near-infrared applications” next Thursday, March 18th. 

Ultimate sensitivity in measurements of optical signals with picosecond resolution can be achieved with Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs). Such detectors produce a current pulse that marks the arrival time of the photon with picosecond precision. Nowadays, silicon SPADs and InGaAs/InP SPADs are well developed and are employed in a growing number of applications, from biology to medical diagnosis, from quantum technologies to LIDAR.
