Readout Techniques for Silicon Photomultipliers
The process of measuring the output from a silicon photomultiplier and converting it into a digital data signal is called SiPM readout. Applications such as PET, SPECT, flow cytometry, LIDAR, fluorescence detection, confocal microscopy, and radiation detection require signal processing techniques specific to the types of signals encountered when using SiPMs. Depending on the application, various SiPM readout methods can be employed to maximize signal to noise ratio, dynamic range, and data throughput.
