NUV-MT Silicon Photomultiplier Array

AFBR-S4N22P014M

AFBR-S4N22P014M

The Broadcom® AFBR-S4N22P014M is a single-channel silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array that is used for ultrasensitive precision measurements of single photons.

Features

  • High PDE (63% at 420 nm)
  • 4-side tileable, with high fill factors
  • Cell pitch: 40µm
  • Operating temp range of -20ºC to +60ºC
  • Highly transparent epoxy protection layer

The Broadcom® AFBR-S4N22P014M is a single-channel silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array that is used for ultrasensitive precision measurements of single photons. This
SiPM is based on NUV-MT technology, which combines improved photo-detection efficiency (PDE) with decreased dark count rate and reduced crosstalk compared to the
NUV-HD technology.

The SPAD pitch is 40 μm. Larger areas can be covered by tiling multiple AFBR-S4N22P014M SiPMs. The encapsulation for good mechanical stability and robustness is realized by an epoxy clear mold compound, which is highly transparent down to UV wavelengths, resulting in a broad response in the visible light spectrum with high sensitivity toward the blue and near-UV region of the light spectrum. The SiPM is best suited for the detection of low-level pulsed light sources, especially for detection of Cherenkov or scintillation light from the most common organic (plastic) and inorganic scintillator materials (for example, LSO, LYSO, BGO, NaI, CsI, BaF, LaBr3). Thisproduct is lead-free and compliant with RoHS.
