Single-Photon Detection for Data Communication and Quantum Systems

This book shows the progress of integrated (thick) CMOS SPADs towards high photon detection probabilities and applications such as in low-cost consumer data communication and high-end single-photon counting for quantum applications. New research is introduced and comprehensively detailed.

About the author

Dr. Michael Hofbauer received his Dipl.-Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering from TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology) in 2011. He became research assistant in 2011 and university assistant in 2016. In 2017, he received the Dr. degree from TU Wien. He finished his doctoral studies sub auspiciis Praesidentis (i.e. with highest possible honors).
