  • Device and method for detecting time-resolved optical data
    Patent number: 11788960
    Abstract: A device is disclosed for detecting time-resolved optical data, the device comprising a sensor comprising a number of detection elements configured to detect a light signal in a single photon regime, a timing circuit connected to said number of detection elements though a common line, and a control module connected to the sensor, the control module being configured to selectively enable the detection elements of the sensor according to a set of enabling patterns. The timing circuit is configured to measure a time of arrival of an output signal from the detection elements on the common line, the output signal being indicative of the detection of a photon of the light signal by any of the enabled detection elements.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 22, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 17, 2023
    Assignees: POLITECNICO DI MILANO, CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE DELLE RICERCHE—CNR
    Inventors: Cosimo D'Andrea, Gianluca Valentini, Andrea Farina, Simon Arridge
