Single Photon Counting UV Solar-Blind Detectors Using Silicon and III-Nitride Materials

Single Photon Counting UV Solar-Blind Detectors Using Silicon and III-Nitride Materials

Ultraviolet (UV) studies in astronomy, cosmology, planetary studies, biological and medical applications often require precision detection of faint objects and in many cases require photon-counting detection. We present an overview of two approaches for achieving photon counting in the UV. The first...
