This paper introduces a systematic way to measure most features of the silicon photomultipliers (SiPM). We implement an efficient two-laser procedure to measure the recovery time. Avalanche probability was found to play an important role in explainin

When comparing the performance of time-of-flight whole-body PET scanners, timing resolution is one important benchmark. Timing performance is heavily influenced by detector and electronics design. Even for the same scanner design, measured timing res

Adding time-of-flight (TOF) technology has been proven to improve image quality in positron emission tomography (PET). In order for TOF information to significantly reduce the statistical noise in reconstructed PET images, good timing resolution is n

We developed a modular and scalable PMT-based detector for a Time-of-Flight PET system. The detector is divided into 5 segments. The position within each segment is determined by applying Anger logic to 4 PMTs which read out the segment and using a c

We report on the evaluation of a prototype small-animal positron emission tomography (PET) detector with depth-of-interaction (DOI) encoding. The detector consisted of an 8/spl times/8 array of scintillator crystals that were read out on the top and

A gamma ray detector for PET, consisting of an array of mixed lutetium oxyorthosilicate (MLS) scintillator crystals coupled to a position sensitive avalanche photodiode (PSAPD), was evaluated. The scintillator array was constructed from individual ML

We propose a new method for modeling the detector module crystal positioning-blur and mis-positioning errors based on the detector modules' flood histograms (crystal position map) and crystal segmentation maps and use simulations for validation. Firs

Time-resolved two-photon induced luminescence spectroscopy is used to study the relaxation dynamics of holes in GaAs following valence-to-conduction band femtosecond pulse excitation in the near-infrared and heavy- and light-hole to split-off resonan

The recent development of periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) has led to a variety of highly efficient and compact all-solid-state nonlinear optical devices. Of particular interest are the optical parametric oscillators. We have most recently d

We describe a new algorithm for automatic segmenting crystal position map (flood histogram) for PET scintillation detectors. The algorithm naturally reproduces the distortion patterns that are observed in flood histograms generated using Anger logic.
