Journal ArticleDOI
Long-range time-of-flight scanning sensor based on high-speed time-correlated single-photon counting.
Aongus McCarthy,Robert J. Collins,Nils J. Krichel,Veronica Fernandez,Andrew M. Wallace,Gerald S. Buller +5 more
TL;DR: A scanning time-of-flight system which uses the time-correlated single-photon counting technique to produce three-dimensional depth images of distant, noncooperative surfaces when these targets are illuminated by a kHz to MHz repetition rate pulsed laser source.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kilometre-range, high resolution depth imaging using 1560 nm wavelength single-photon detection
Aongus McCarthy,Nils J. Krichel,Nathan R. Gemmell,Ximing Ren,Michael G. Tanner,Sander N. Dorenbos,Val Zwiller,Robert H. Hadfield,Gerald S. Buller +8 more
TL;DR: By using a scanning transceiver which incorporated a free-running, low noise superconducting nanowire single-photon detector, this paper was able to obtain centimeter resolution depth images of low-signature objects in daylight at stand-off distances of the order of one kilometer at the relatively eye-safe wavelength of 1560 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kilometer-range depth imaging at 1550 nm wavelength using an InGaAs/InP single-photon avalanche diode detector
Aongus McCarthy,Ximing Ren,Adriano Della Frera,Nathan R. Gemmell,Nils J. Krichel,Carmelo Scarcella,Alessandro Ruggeri,Alberto Tosi,Gerald S. Buller +8 more
TL;DR: An InGaAs/InP single-photon avalanche diode detector module in conjunction with a time-of-flight depth imager operating at a wavelength of 1550 nm, is used to acquire centimeter resolution depth images of low signature objects at stand-off distances of up to one kilometer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Underwater depth imaging using time-correlated single-photon counting
Aurora Maccarone,Aongus McCarthy,Ximing Ren,Ryan E. Warburton,Andrew M. Wallace,James Moffat,Yvan Petillot,Gerald S. Buller +7 more
TL;DR: A depth imaging system, based on the time-of-flight and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) technique, was investigated for use in highly scattering underwater environments and a LiDAR model was developed and validated using experimental data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Singlet oxygen luminescence detection with a fiber-coupled superconducting nanowire single-photon detector
Nathan R. Gemmell,Aongus McCarthy,Baochang Liu,Michael G. Tanner,Sander N. Dorenbos,Valery Zwiller,Michael S. Patterson,Gerald S. Buller,Brian C. Wilson,Robert H. Hadfield +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first demonstration of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) for 1O2 luminescence detection was reported, with a fibre-coupled cavity-enhanced SNSPD with >20% practical detection efficiency at ~1300 nm, representing a 20-fold improvement in efficiency over NIR PMTs used to date for singlet oxygen luminecence dosimetry.
