They are particularly sensitive to low levels of light and are used in applications where precise and sensitive light detection is ren-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/learn/learning-center/the-tech-connection/b/blog/posts/how-does-a-silicon-photomultiplier-workWed, 17 Jan 2024 07:10:14 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:96eab9cd-e852-47de-bbd8-f4d17861b81adougw0<p>Very cool technology. Looks like a nice improvement on PMTs.</p> <p>I wonder if you could make a camera that works in pretty much total darkness.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=27359&AppID=207&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/learn/learning-center/the-tech-connection/b/blog/posts/how-does-a-silicon-photomultiplier-workFri, 29 Dec 2023 19:51:18 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:96eab9cd-e852-47de-bbd8-f4d17861b81aDAB0<p>Very interesting post.</p> <p>Your description of operation matches my theory on the photo-electric effect being based upon photon flow between atoms.</p> <p>Do you have any development boards that I could use with mircrocontrollers?</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=27359&AppID=207&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
