Draper Catches a Photon and Earns a Patent for its Invention

CAMBRIDGE, MA—A new single photon detector developed by engineers at Draper can outperform existing technologies and promises significant improvements in detection range and resolution—a boon for self-driving cars and other applications. The detector uses a silicon-germanium photodiode, has ultralow dark-counting rate and timing resolution of better than one nanosecond. The single photon detector (SPD) is the first of its kind […]
