Single photoelectron timing resolution of SiPM as a function of the bias voltage, the wavelength and the temperature

This work reports on Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) timing resolution measurements performed at the picosecond level at Laboratory of Linear Accelerator (LAL), In2p3- CNRS. pendence of Single Photoelectron Timing Resolution (SPTR) with the applied voltage, wavelength of the light and the temperature was measured for detectors from Hamamatsu Photonics, AdvanSiD and Sensl with an active area of 1 and 9 mm2. TR improves with the bias voltage increase. No significant variation of SPTR was observed with the temperature change. We also observed a weak variation of it as a function of the wavelength of the light. The best SPTR measured was about 120 ps (FWHM).
