| Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) have recently been recognized as an interesting alternative to photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) thanks to their high sensitivity and time resolution. They can closely approach quantum-limited sensitivity in the detection of weak optical signals. Ifremer (French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea) and Institut Fresnel research lab have been investigating appropriate alternative solutions for PMTs in the context of underwater optical communications, and have for the first time used these new photodetector components for signal detection. A novel prototype of an optical modem based on SiPM receivers was realized with support from Osean SAS Co., a French instrumentation company. A number of lab experiments and sea... |
