CosmicWatch muon detector – Building a Cosmic Ray Detector
https://www.electronics-lab.com/cosmicwatch-muon-detector-building-a-cosmic-ray-detector/
CosmicWatch is a project from MIT in the US and Poland’s National Center for Nuclear Research, that enables anyone with basic electronic skills to build a low-cost desktop detector for the muon particles which are created when cosmic rays collide with the earth’s atmosphere. In this series of posts, we’ll take a look at constructing […]
Broadcom’s single-silicon photo-multiplier is best suited for the detection of low-level pulsed light sources

The Broadcom® AFBR-S4N33C013 is a single-silicon photo-multiplier (SiPM) used for ultra-sensitive precision measurement of single photons. The active area is 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm. A high packing density of single chips is achieved using through-silicon-via (TSV) technology and a chip-sized package (CSP). Larger areas can be covered by tiling multiple AFBR-S4N33C013 CSPs almost without any edge […]

ON Semi – Silicon Photomultiplier RB-Series
https://www.electronics-lab.com/semi-silicon-photomultiplier-rb-series/
ON Semi’s RB Series of red-enhanced second generation Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) with high responsivity at a low bias voltage. MicroRB−Series sensors are the second release of Silicon Photo− multipliers (SiPM) from ON Semiconductor’s R-Series range. These sensors provide further sensitivity improvements in the red and NIR region of the electromagnetic spectrum. All R-Series SiPM sensors […]
Introduction to the silicon photomultiplier (SiPM)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/introduction-to-the-silicon-photomultiplier-sipm/
App note from ON Semiconductors about SiPM sensors, explaining the working principle and primary performance parameters. The Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) is a sensor that addresses the challenge of sensing, timing and quantifying low-light signals down to the single-photon level. Traditionally the province of the Photomultiplier Tube (PMT), the Silicon Photomultiplier now offers a highly attractive […]
