- This paper demonstrated the first CMOS SPAD receiver for optical communication with a unique analogue approach which is easily scalable and compatible with existing technology as a direct replacement. Alongside the hardware implementation, numerical analysis for a SPAD array was undertaken which included, for the first time, non-ideal effects of detector such as deadtime, and background illumination. This influenced the research at TU Wien, Austria (DOI:10.1038/s41598-017-02870-2), National Digital Switching Research, China (DOI:10.1109/JPHOT.2016.2602330) and CNRS, France (DOI:10.1109/JPHOT.2017.2726565). The SPAD array development in this paper has led to several awards (EP/K00042X/1, EP/R00689X/1, EP/M013243/1 and EP/T00097X/1).
