Readout chain validation of INFN modules for the CTA-pSCT camera
摘要： The Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) is currently involved in the R&D for the integration of Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) in the focal plane camera for the prototype of the Schwarzschild–Couder Telescope (pSCT) proposed to integrate the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory. High density FBK SiPMs optimized for the detection of Near Ultraviolet Cherenkov light (NUV-HD) will be used to equip the camera, coupled to the TARGET-7 readout electronics. A first production of 9 INFN modules is being tested and will be installed on the focal plane of the pSCT camera. Each module consists of 64 6 mm × 6 mm pixels, based on 40 μm × 40 μm microcells, arranged in 16-pixel matrices. The front-end electronics is based on the TARGET-7 ASIC, a 16-channel chip for sampling and digitization of the signal. Here we report measurements of the performances of the complete readout chain, including results regarding homogeneity in terms of gain and signal-to-noise ratio.

Characterization of FBK NUV-HD SiPMs for the pSCT camera proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
摘要： Recent developments on Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) have shown that they are particularly adequate to detect fast signal due to low-intensity light. Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) has optimized these sensors for the Near-Ultraviolet Cherenkov light emitted by high energy gamma-ray showers in the atmosphere. The FBK high density SiPMs (NUV-HD) have been extensively characterized in the laboratories of the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) in view of equipping the focal plane camera of the Schwarzschild–Couder Telescope prototype (pSCT) in the framework of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). Here we report the performances of the 6 × 6 mm2 SiPMs based on 40 × 40 μm2 cells, in terms of gain and signal-to-noise ratio. We compare the results obtained on devices from the latest generation and grown on different substrates in order to choose the most suitable sensor for the pSCT camera.

Recent progress in high-performance photo-detectors enabled by the pulsed laser deposition technology
摘要： In the past decade, photo-detectors have been demonstrated to have very important applications in image sensing, optical communication, fire detection, environmental monitoring, space exploration, safety detection, and many other scientific research and industrial technology fields and are regarded as the key components of wearable devices. Compared to traditional fabrication approaches, pulsed-laser deposition (PLD)-grown materials for photo-detectors offer several merits. First, PLD is a clean physical vapor deposition approach. A stoichiometric amount of atoms can be transferred from the target to the substrate, avoiding complicated and potentially dangerous chemical reactions. Furthermore, the PLD process is carried out in a high-vacuum environment. Therefore, almost no contaminants, such as catalysts, precursors, surfactants and by-products, will be introduced. Also, the thickness of the films can be controlled by simply manipulating the energy and pulse number of the pulsed laser. Furthermore, the fabrication temperature is relatively low, which is available to deposit materials on various substrates, even flexible ones. Most importantly, PLD is a deposition technology with large area coverage, which can produce centimeter-scale thin films, the planar geometry of which has significant potential for compact device integration with modern semiconductor techniques. Consequently, this review introduces the recent advances on the materials, fabrication, and application of pulsed-laser deposition for a variety of high-performance photo-detectors from an overall perspective. Moreover, the challenges and future development trends are discussed.

Overall Noise Analysis for Transisition Edge Sensor at Optical and Infra-Red Wavelengths
摘要： Transition-Edge Sensors (TESs) are the most promising devices as single photon detectors in the visible and infrared range. In particular ultra-fast TESs with few hundred ns response time and high quantum efficiency find application in different fields like quantum optics, quantum metrology and quantum information. In this work, the main objective is to measure the noise effect on the performance of the TESs when operated at visible and infrared wavelengths as the TESs performance depends on the sensor parameters and also on the noise level. The noise analysis is done by experimentally calculating the noise generated by the different block of the Single quantum interface device and to the TES. We have also . The above estimate is valid for seen from our numerical analysis that the overall noise of the system is the low-temperature steady –state biasing conditions of our TES device.

Impact of silver nanogratings for enhanced light absorption in plasmonic based photodetector
摘要： Recent era has witnessed a wide interest of researchers for the development of nano scale high speed photodetectors. Now days, optical communication systems demand these detectors with light enhancement along with high gain and bandwidth. Plasmonics based photodetectors with gold nanogratings are employed in literature for high responsivity and miniaturization. However, these devices need to be explored for other metals as gold being very costly. In this work, plasmonic based photodetector is designed with silver nanogratings and analyzed over varying shapes like rectangular, trapezoidal, ellipse and parabolic taper. Enhanced light absorption with quenching factor of 73.96% is achieved with rectangular grooves in near infrared region as compared to other shapes.
