- Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are a key technology behind solid-state LIDAR, which promises to be a faster, more cost-effective and robust alternative to scanned systems. This paper presented a SPAD sensor that accommodates a large number of photons, which won the best European Paper Award at ISSCC 2019 (the premier circuits conference in the world). The device has been taken up by LIDAR company Sense Photonics [contact available] to turn into a demo system. The SPAD sensor is also being evaluated by Facebook Reality Labs [contact available]. Aurora [contact available] and Huawei [contact available] are also looking to evaluate it.
