Goals Single Photon Detector for Laser Transponder on Mars • pick up the function of single photon detector based on the SPAD diode • pick up the requested parameters of the laser transponder on Mars • scale characteristics of the detector • find the acceptable configuration for the detector • verify parameters of the detector in range of temperature between -80°C and +30 °C František Bína, Seminar Project
Single Photon Detector for Laser Transponder on Mars SPAD diode • very high time resolution (order of magnitude 10 picosecond) • produces uniform output impulse • single electronical circuit providing power supply and output impulse forming • foolproof František Bína, Seminar Project
Required parameters Single Photon Detector for Laser Transponder on Mars • low operating voltage (under 100V) • low comsuption • low sensitivity to radiation • no analog data processing • wide range of temperature (-80°C and +30 °C) • no temperature stabilisation František Bína, Seminar Project
SolutionSPAD diode with the supporting circuits Single Photon Detector for Laser Transponder on Mars František Bína, Seminar Project
Results Single Photon Detector for Laser Transponder on Mars • picked up the function of single photon detector based on the SPAD diode • picked up the requested parameters of the laser transponder on Mars • got familiar with the SPAD diode and measuring equipment and techniques František Bína, Seminar Project
