Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) arraysThey combine single-photon detectors and high-speed electronics to count photons and measure their arrival time in parallel for each pixel. They find application over a broad range of fields, including time-of-flight LiDAR for automotive/consumer/industrial automation/space technology, quantum random number generators, and bio-/medical imaging (FLIM, Raman, PET, SPECT).
-
Low-power Vision sensorsThey gather extra information from the scene at chip- or pixel-level to perform complex tasks using a small amount of power. This technology is applied to surveillance/security, mobile cameras, IoT, privacy-compliant monitoring, and ubiquitous computing.
-
Multispectral, X-ray and THzThey add the wavelength as a variable capable of increasing the information carried by an image, to see things our eye (and standard cameras) cannot see. Applications include medical imaging, security, quality control, spectroscopy.
-
Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS)MAPS exploit the interaction of charged particles with matter to measure their energy, position and direction with a low energy budget. They can be used for beam monitoring in hadron therapy or for particle tracking in high energy physics experiments.

Readout ASICsThey extract the useful signal from custom detectors (SiPM, SDD, strip detectors, 3D SiPM, …), minimizing noise and distortions.
