Abstract

Recent silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) boast excellent production quality, eliminating the need for individual breakdown voltage calibration. We present measurements of cross-talk probability and relative gain for 122 SensL MicroFJ-60035-TSV SiPMs. These semiconductor photosensors have replaced photomultiplier tubes in many applications due to their single-photon resolution, insensitivity to magnetic fields, robustness, and cost-effective photon detection at lower voltages. Light guides expand SiPMs' small photosensitive area, and optical coupling reduces cross-talk probability compared to bare sensors at nominal bias voltage, as demonstrated in this study.

Resumen

Los fotomultiplicadores de silicio (SiPMs) de generaciones recientes tienen una alta calidad de producción, lo que elimina la necesidad de calibrar individual- mente el voltaje de caída. En este estudio, se midió la probabilidad de interferencia y la ganancia relativa de 122 SiPMs SensL MicroFJ-60035-TSV. Estos dispositivos semiconductores reemplazan a los tubos fotomultiplicadores en diversas aplicaciones debido a su capacidad para detectar un solo fotoelectrón, su insensibilidad a cam- pos magnéticos, su robustez, y su mejora en la eficiencia de detección de fotones con menor voltaje y costos. Para aumentar elárea fotosensible de los SiPMs se utilizan guías de luz. Al comparar sensores acopladosópticamente a guías de luz con sensores aislados a voltaje base, se observa que el acoplamientoóptico reduce significativamente la interferencia en los sensores estudiados.
