1 Overview SensL s SPMMicro is an entry level and encapsulates SensL s world-leading APD technology in a miniature, easy to use, low cost platform. The device is available with a range of preamplifier boards and with the sensor packaged in a T8 can. The SPMMicro is available with active areas of 1mm x 1mm or 3mm x 3mm. The responsivity of 6, A/W is many orders of magnitude higher than can be achieved from other silicon detectors. Even at the extreme end of silicon capability in the classic eye safe and LIDAR wavelength of 164nm the responsivity is still 1A/W which is substantially higher than existing detectors. The SPMMicro has the well appreciated benefits of silicon detectors, including size, low operating voltage, robustness, reliability, magnetic insensitivity and suitability for miniaturisation. In addition, the novel design is tolerant to excess/ambient light, has a very fast pulse response, has low excess noise and high S/N ratio. The benefits of the SPMMicro vs. industry standard Silicon APDs are shown in the table below. These significant performance enhancements combined with the ease of integration, compact and miniature form factor and low cost makes the SPMMicro the ideal low light analogue detection platform for OEMs. Furthermore, planned enhancements to the SPMMicro provide a roadmap to even greater benefits in future product generations. The technology, known as a Silicon Photomultiplier (SPM), is based on arrays of SensL s high gain photodiodes. The pulses of current from each high gain photodiode (each with an intrinsic gain of 1 6 ) are summed together at the output giving an analogue output signal which is proportional to the number of photodiodes responding to input photons. The output is proportional to the incident light flux on the sensor. The very high gain combined with a high photon detection probability results in the world leading responsivity. The SPMMicro is available with a variety of amplifier circuits, including a transimpedance option for CW applications, and a preamplifier for pulsed applications. The signal to noise of the SPMMicro is better than an APD for many typical applications. This is possible due to the superior excess noise of the Silicon Photomultiplier technology. A direct comparison of the S/N between a PMT and SPMMicro is shown in Page 8 Features High gain Silicon APD (1 6 ) Very high responsivity (6,A/W) Low bias voltages (3V) Fast rise time (<5s) Fast recovery time (<2ns) Superior S/N to normal APDs Not damaged by excess/ambient light Large area 1mm 2 and 9mm 2 options Minimal electronics requirement Compact, rugged and stable Insensitive to magnetic fields Applications Biological sensors Scanning microarrays DNA biochips/sequencing Proteomics/Protein Biochips Point-of-use biological agent detection Environmental monitoring Nuclear radiation detection Homeland security Flow cytometry Range finding Targeting LIDAR Food Inspection Technology Comparison SPM Normal Silicon APD High gain (1 6 ) Low gain (1 2 ) Low bias voltage (3V) Peak Responsivity 164nm (1,A/W) Tolerant of excess ambient light Higher bias voltage (8V) Peak Responsivity 164nm (3A/W) Damaged by excess ambient light Page 1

3 Technical Information - Silicon Photomultiplier Concept Overview The core of SensL's SPM product line is a high gain photodiode array. SensL's photodiodes are specially designed to allow for operation above the breakdown voltage. Operation above breakdown is known to produce incredibly large gains (up to 1 6 ), which allow SensL's photodiodes to be sensitive to single photons of light. Internally, what allows a SensL photodiode to detect single photons is an ultra-high quality silicon diode coupled with a quenching resistor. The simplest way to view this concept is through the figure below. In this figure, a single diode is connected in series with a passive quenching resistor. When photons enter into the diode, they cause a very uniform avalanche breakdown to occur. This breakdown is then quenched by the series resistor. By carefully controlling the diode formation and resistor uniformity, a uniform pulse of current flows through the diode during each photon event. This process is the result of years of work into single photon counting diodes and allows high performance highly sensitive detectors in silicon to be realised. In the Silicon Photomultiplier a large number of these high gain photodiodes are connected in parallel summing the output current from all the active pixels. Each photodiode operates on its own in response to photons entering into the detector. This is shown below as a schematic and also as an image from a manufactured SPM. The end result when illuminated is an analogue signal representing the current pulses from all the photodiodes within the array. This analogue output signal is therefore proportional to the light incident on to the active area of the sensor at any instant in time. Time Technical Information - Pre-Amplifier Options To benefit from the high gain responsivity it is required to use circuitry which can convert the current flowing through the array into a voltage which can be readily processed with standard electronics. Given the high gain inherent in the SPM, it is possible to use pre-amplifier boards of either current or voltage amplification. This has resulted in two different pre-amplifier configurations available from SensL. Transimpedance Amplifier The first of these is a transimpedance type pre-amplifier which can convert the raw current from the SPM into a voltage. The typical gain for a SensL transimpedance amplifier is 47V/A. The transimpedance pre-amplifier board is shown schematically in the Figure below. This board is ideal for applications that require detection of continuous signals where integration of the signal is done over time. One application is cell imaging or DNA microarrays where it is desired to integrate the optical signal from a sample for periods from 1us to 1ms in time. This can be accomplished easily with the SensL Transimpedance pre-amplifier. Page 3
4 The typical response of the detector to a light signal with the transimpedance amplifier is shown in the images below. The image on the left shows the response of a 1mm SPMMini device with a transimpedance amplifier to a low photon level, i.e. small optical signal. The image on the right shows the response of the same device to a large signal (close to sensor saturation).

This board is shown in the figure below. This allows the fast rise time of the detector to be exploited and provides for the simplest way to accurately bring pulse information to the user. The SensL SPM is coupled to a high speed pulse pre-amplifier which uses an internal gain of 2. This signal is then output to the user via a DC blocking capacitor to properly convey pulse information originating in the SPM. The typical response of the detector to a pulse light signal with the pulse amplifier is shown in the images below. The image on the left shows the response of a 1mm SPMMicro device with a pulse amplifier to a very low level photon pulse. The leading edge is ~5ns and trailing edge is ~2ns.

7 Technical Information - Gain Control The gain can be varied by adjusting the over bias voltage (i.e. the Over Voltage or the voltage above the breakdown voltage). 2.5 Gain Control - Gain vs. Bias Voltage (λ = 55nm, all 1mm devices) 2 Gain (x 1 6 ) All 1mm Devices Bias (V) Technical Information - Dynamic Range The SPM response as a function of input optical power is shown for all the SPMMini product variations. The Dynamic Range is the range of optical input power signals which the detector can measure. This is measured by measuring the detector output response to varying optical input signal power. The upper limit of the Dynamic Range is the power level at which the detector is saturated, i.e. all the photodiodes are continuously firing.
