Coincidence Detection using the Broadcom AFBR-S4N44P163 4 x 4 SiPM Array and the Vertilon SIB916 Sensor Interface Board
In this application note we describe a simple setup utilizing two Broadcom AFBR-S4N44P163 SiPM arrays in combination with standard, off-the-shelf equipment from Vertilon. The equipment is configured to continuously capture and measure the light from two coincident light sources. Each SiPM array is mounted to a Vertilon SIB916 sensor interface board that is connected using Vertilon interface products, to a Vertilon PhotoniQ IQSP580 charge integrating, 32 channel data acquisition system (DAQ). The setup described is one utilizing a pair of well-controlled synchronized UV laser diode pulsed light sources. Much of this setup is applicable to similar experiments using a sodium 22 source to generate coincident 511 KeV gamma radiation from positron annihilation.
