The silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) refers to a solid-state photodetector device with single-photon sensitivity, photon counting capability, and quick response. It is a semiconductor device that generates an output current pulse in response to the absorption of a photon. It is widely used for sensing, timing, and quantifying low-light signals down to the single-photon level. It also offers advantages, such as low-voltage operation, excellent response uniformity, mechanical robustness, insensitivity to magnetic fields, high gain, and temperature stability. In recent years, SiPM has gained traction as an alternative to the traditional photomultiplier tube (PMT) due to its compact size and higher efficiency across numerous industries, including electronics, automotive, healthcare, IT and telecommunication, oil and gas, industrial, and aerospace.
