FIGURE 1. The layout of a pixel in a 32 × 32 photon-counting camera includes a SPAD detector, front-end quenching circuit, and counter. When a photon triggers the SPAD, the VLQC senses the avalanche, quenches the current, and resets the SPAD (right); the ancillary electronics send a count to the counter.
