Journal ArticleDOI
CMOS Photodetectors Integrated With Plasmonic Color Filters
TL;DR: In this article, a single pixel plasmonic complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) photo sensor consisting of a color filter integrated on a CMOS photodiode was fabricated using electron beam lithography and dry etch.
Journal ArticleDOI
A SPAD-Based Photon Detecting System for Optical Communications
Danial Chitnis,Steve Collins +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a small array of single photon avalanche detectors (SPADs) has been designed and fabricated in a standard $0.18 \mu\hbox{m}$ CMOS process to test a new photon detecting system for optical communications.
Journal ArticleDOI
A CMOS Image Sensor Integrated with Plasmonic Colour Filters
Qin Chen,D. Das,Danial Chitnis,K. Walls,Timothy D. Drysdale,Steve Collins,David R. S. Cumming +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, plasmonic color filters were integrated on the top surface of a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor (CIS) using electron beam lithography and dry etch.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Comparison of APD- and SPAD-Based Receivers for Visible Light Communications
Long Zhang,Danial Chitnis,Hyunchae Chun,Sujan Rajbhandari,Grahame Faulkner,Dominic O'Brien,Steve Collins +6 more
TL;DR: An accurate equation for the impact of dead time on the sensitivity of a SPAD array is presented and a comparison between receivers containing an avalanche photo-diode and a large array of SPADs shows that although the receiver containing the SPAD is moresensitive in the dark, the APD-based receiver is more sensitive in a normal operating condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling, calibration, and correction of nonlinear illumination-dependent fixed pattern noise in logarithmic CMOS image sensors
Dileepan Joseph,Steve Collins +1 more
TL;DR: A nonlinear model y=a+bln(c+x)+/spl epsi/ of a pixel for the digital response y to an illuminance x is developed and shows that the FPN arises from a variation of the offset a, gain b, and bias c from pixel to pixel.
