  1. 1. Performance Estimation of a 1D pulsed LiDAR : A Study of SiPM-Based LiDAR in Ambient Light

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Joel Rune; [2023]
    Keywords : LiDAR; SiPM; SPAD; Ambient light; LiDAR; Kisel-fotomultiplikator; SPAD; Bakgrundsljus;

    Abstract : LiDAR is a remote sensing technology that uses a laser to map the surrounding environment. With its many applications, for example in autonomous vehicles, LiDAR is a growing field within technology and research. The silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) is a solid state device commonly used in the receiving system of a LiDAR. READ MORE

  3. 2. Prototype Instrumentation for Frequency Domain – Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Rohit Rathnam Nareshkumar; [2022]
    Keywords : Neurofeedback; Frequency domain fNIRS; vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser; silicon photomultiplier;

    Abstract : Frequency domain functional near infrared spectroscopy (FD-fNIRS) is a tissue optical measurement technique used to measure absolute haemoglobin concentrations in brain tissue. This work is intended to be the first step in the development of a wearable, low-cost FD-fNIRS device for neurofeedback applications. READ MORE

  4. 3. Software Development and Qualification Testing of a CubeSat X-ray Monitor

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Marcus Persson; [2019]
    Keywords : embedded software; cubesat; software; firmware; cubes; mist; x-ray; fpga; asic; weeroc;

    Abstract : The CUBES (CUbesat x-ray Background Explorer using Scintillators) is a payload on the KTH student satellite MIST (MIniature STudent satellite) to evaluate Silicon Photo-multiplier technology and new scintillators such as GAGG (Gadolinium Aluminium Gallium Garnet, Gd3Al2Ga3O12) for future use in hard X-ray polarisation studies of Gamma-Ray Bursts. CUBES itself is designed to study the MIST in-orbit radiation environment by using a detector which is comprised of a silicon photomultiplier coupled to different scintillator materials. READ MORE

  5. 4. Developement of a portable β-­‐ spectrometer for in situ measurements of Sr-­‐90 and Y-­‐90 using a plastic scintillator and a silicon photomultipler (SiPM).

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Medicinsk strålningsfysik, Lund; Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Daniel Krona; [2015]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : In the event of a nuclear weapon detonation or a power plant accident radionuclides will deposit on the ground. It is then important to identify and quantify the radionuclides to obtain information necessary for radiation protection efforts like relocation and decontamination. READ MORE
