Monolithic active-quenching and active-reset circuit for single-photon avalanche detectors.

A monolithic circuit has been designed for active-quenching and active-reset of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), which operate above the breakdown voltage VBD for detecting single photons. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fully integrated circuit of this kind ever reported. It...
