A Novel 32x32 InP/ InGaAs SPAD Array for Multi-Channel Time-Gated Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy

We present the design of an innovative time-gated 32×32 InP/InGaAs-based Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) array with sub-nanosecond gating capabilities operating up to 10MHz repetition rate specifically designed for time-domain diffuse correlation spectroscopy at 1064nm. We present the detector design, experimental characterization and preliminary validations on a liquid phantom. This testing is informing us for a revision of the photodetector which will allow to reach up to 192 optical channels towards functional blood flow changes measurements with full head coverage with improved brain sensitivity thanks to early-photons rejection.
