Single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) based transient imaging suffers from an aberration called pile-up. When multiple photons arrive within a single repetition period of the illuminating laser, the SPAD records only the arrival of the first…
Avalanche photodiodes used for greenhouse gas sensing often use a mesa-structure that suffers from high surface leakage currents and edge breakdown. In this paper, we report 2-micron InGaAs/GaAsSb superlattice (SL) based planar PIN diodes…
Laboratory measurements of unpolarized and polarized absorption spectra of various samples and crystal stuctures of silicon carbide (SiC) are presented from 1200--35,000 cm$^{-1}$ ($\lambda \sim$ 8--0.28 $\mu$m) and used to improve the…
