  • Abstract
    Recently a new type of photodetector was introduced; the so-called Silicon PhotoMultiplier (SiPM). Its good characteristics make SiPM suitable for many applications. Yet, for low light level applications higher quantum efficiency is required. A new detector concept is presented that promises very high (close to 100%) quantum efficiency in a wide wavelength range.
